Being educated in an inclusive environment is a basic right for students with disabilities, according to a new set of guidelines from the United Nations.  Governments must work together with people who have disabilities and other stakeholders to ensure that schooling is not just integrated, but actually inclusive. That’s the recommendation of a 24-page document known as a “general comment” recently adopted by the U.N. Committee on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities.
