Area of Work
Special, Inclusive Education & Advocacy
We promote inclusive education and advocate for policies, practices, and systems that enable learners with disabilities and diverse learning needs to participate, learn, and thrive.
Why it matters
Many learners with disabilities and diverse learning needs are still out of school, or in school but not learning. Inclusion is not an extra programme: it is about making everyday teaching, schools and systems work for every learner.
We treat inclusion as a cross-cutting principle across all our work, and as a specialist area where we bring deep expertise.

- Inclusive education strategy
- Special educational needs support
- Disability inclusion
- Inclusive school improvement

How we work

We also support advocacy, helping partners build the evidence and relationships needed to change policy and practice.
