Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

June 2019 saw the 25th anniversary of the World Conference on
Special Needs Education, which was co-organized by UNESCO and
the Ministry of Education and Science of Spain, and held in the
city of Salamanca. It led to the Salamanca Statement and
Framework for Action on Special Needs Education, arguably the
most significant international document that has ever appeared in
the field of special education. In so doing, it endorsed the idea of
inclusive education, which was to become a major influence in
subsequent years. The articles in this special issue illustrate the
ways in which the Salamanca Statement has and still is
influencing the development of policies and practices across the
world. In this editorial, we provide readers with some relevant
background to these developments.
