Education does not work well enough for children who find learning difficult.
This isn’t new. Since the beginning of mass schooling, our education system has struggled with the challenge of including all children in a positive and meaningful way.
Today, previous efforts by society to address this seem shocking us. Even in the last 50 years, some children were placed in asylums or institutions instead of schools.
Over time, through changes to law and movements of inclusion, the right of all children to a high-quality education until at least the age of 16 has been established. Things should now be better than ever.
