Abstract:

The council of the European Union recognizes the importance of social inclusion of people with special needs through education and the adaptation of policies that ensure equal opportunities for everyone in accesing the educational system, to reduce early school leavers and to fight discrimination.

The European Council underlines the need to ensure in the education and training system equity and excellence and considers that inequalities toward students with special needs can still be reduced in the different levels of school education. The council promotes the implementation of an approach which will be more oriented on the special needs of each individual and further providing teachers with skills to cope with the different needs of the students.
