Editorial - Inclusion is more than just a number

What are the specific challenges of inclusion in secondary schools? This was the initial question of an article a few months ago. But after various interviews, it quickly became clear that the need for dialogue and clarification is much greater.

Luxembourg laid the foundations for inclusion in schools in the early 1990s. The reforms carried out from 2017 onwards have strengthened the right to education "without discrimination and on the basis of equal opportunities", as stated in the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities ratified by Luxembourg in 2011. The main points in brief: the abolition of Ediff special schools, the provision of additional resources in the form of specialised staff and coaching in schools, framed by specialised centres of excellence that can provide outpatient help or offer more or less extensive special schooling.
