Promoting Inclusive Teacher Education : Policy

Abstract

The term ‘policy’ broadly refers to the rules, laws and principles that guide the practices of individuals, groups and institutions on various issues, e.g. inclusive education. Often, international and national policies set out overarching principles and commitments which guide more specific rules and procedures. Putting policy into practice, (in other words, the processes of bringing about the intended effects of policy in reality), is referred to as ‘policy implementation’ in this advocacy guide
