Inclusive Education in Germany
Inclusion is a major issue in Germany, but the term is not clearly defined. What does inclusion mean regarding school education and how is it going to be implemented in the German Länder? These new publications, published by the Friedrich Ebert Stiftung provide an up-to-date overview on the developments of inclusion in schools in Germany.
Each issue highlights the current state of implementation in the respective federal state as well as the ongoing political debate on this issue. The brochures show in detail the political, educational and financial developments and challenges.
A series of publications is available here in German.
