The rights of students with disabilities to receive education in mainstream schools are increasingly recognized globally, leading to significant reforms. Segregation of disabled students in public education is unnecessary; instead, systems must adapt to accommodate all learners. This book presents an in-depth analysis of inclusive practices across eight countries, highlighting the challenges and solutions for successful integration. It represents the most comprehensive international comparative study conducted, demonstrating that all students, regardless of their disabilities, can thrive in mainstream settings with appropriate safeguards. Nine critical areas are identified: funding models, public accountability systems, pupil assessment, curriculum development, adult-to-student ratios, the role of classroom assistants, support services, teacher training, and community and parental involvement. The case studies are enriched by annexes detailing effective teacher preparation for special education and cost-effectiveness analysis procedures. Related works include studies on implementing inclusive education and integrating students with special needs. Future research will focus on quantitative data analysis, further enhancing the understanding of inclusive education practices across various countries, including Australia, Canada, Denmark, Germany, Iceland, Italy, the United Kingdom, and the United States.
