“Every child has the right to quality education and learning”

Education is more than just a basic human right – it’s a cornerstone of personal development, economic growth, and societal progress.

Inclusive quality education means that all children, regardless of physical, intellectual, social, emotional or linguistic abilities, learn and participate equally and effectively, in safety and free from gender bias. However, a range of often intersecting factors including gender, poverty, location, disability, language and ethnicity create barriers that prevent millions of children from accessing and completing quality education

Inclusive education is important because it promotes diversity, equity, and social justice. It recognizes that every student is unique and has different learning needs, and it seeks to create an environment that is responsive to those needs. Inclusive education also helps to build a sense of community and belonging among students, which can lead to better academic and social outcomes.

Inclusive education benefits all students, not just those with disabilities. It promotes a positive learning environment that values diversity and encourages collaboration and teamwork. It also helps to develop empathy and understanding among students, which can lead to more inclusive and accepting communities

BSMN goal is to ensure vulnerable and excluded children – particularly girls – access and complete inclusive quality education from pre-primary to higher level. This encompasses formal, non-formal and informal provision, in development and humanitarian settings, including displaced and crisis-affected communities.
