Inclusive Education A Comparative Study Between Ecuador And Peru

Abstract

Inclusive education has become a global movement aimed at promoting equal access to education for all learners, including those with disabilities or special educational needs. This comparative study explores the state of inclusive education in Ecuador and Peru, two neighbouring South American countries with similar cultural and socio-economic backgrounds. The study examines the policies and practices of inclusive education in both countries, as well as the challenges and opportunities facing their implementation. The research draws on a range of sources, including government documents, academic literature, and interviews with educational professionals. The findings highlight the progress made in both countries towards inclusive education, as well as the persistent gaps and disparities that need to be addressed. The study concludes with recommendations for future research and policy development to promote more effective and equitable inclusive education practices.
