The Joint Statement on Inclusive Schools Within the Context of Diverse Societies, is written by ETUCE in partnership with EFEE (European Federation of Education Employers) and ESHA (European School Heads Association). The statement underlines that a carefully built inclusive learning environment is the basis of education which meets the needs and interests of all learners and education personnel regardless of their background. Therefore, the Statement outlines the five key elements of the inclusive schools within the context of diverse societies:
- Safe physical, social and emotional learning environments where the freedoms of opinion and expression are respected.
- Teachers and other education personnel who are prepared and supported in managing the diversity in the school and intercultural dialogue, including the teaching of controversial and sensitive issues.
- School leadership committed to creating an enabling, supportive learning and teaching environment and democratic school governance.
- Education authorities with a holistic perspective on education systems which entails the integration of every person in society and preparing learners to be active and responsible citizens in a socially and economically diverse world.
- The involvement and full commitment of all relevant stakeholders, including school partners and social partners, to maintain inclusive schools and promote diversity, mutual respect and intercultural dialogue in education.
The statement is published in English, French, German, Spanish and Russian and is available for dissemination here.
