Inclusive education as social protection
Inclusive Education: Ensuring Access, Participation and Development from Early Childhood
Education for all is social protection for all
An inclusive education pathway begins in early childhood, sustains participation throughout schooling, and connects support with adult life, autonomy and economic inclusion.
Inclusive education pathway
- 1Early childhood0–5
- 2Primary6–11
- 3Secondary12–17
- 4Adult life18+
Initial access → Full participation → Continuity → Economic inclusion
Three ways to find what you need
The same resource may appear in more than one axis because it addresses a stage, a social protection dimension and a specific role.
Axis 1 · Access and participation in inclusive education
How can I ensure access and participation in inclusive education from early childhood?
It approaches the pathway as a continuum: enter early, participate on equal terms, progress without losing support, and reduce care barriers that prevent learning.
Access and participation in education are social protection for the person and their family.
Axis 2 · By social protection dimension
Connects education outcomes with comprehensive support and opportunities for economic autonomy.
Axis 3 · By audience
Select your role to see a curated pathway, and change it when you need to support another stakeholder.
