Area of Science:

  • Education Policy
  • Disability Studies
  • Human Rights Law

Background:

  • Inclusive education, where all students learn together, is widely considered a moral human right.
  • This perspective is prevalent in disability studies and educational policy discourse.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To critically examine the theoretical underpinnings of inclusive education as a moral human right.
  • To differentiate between the moral and legal dimensions of the right to inclusive education.

Main Methods:

  • Philosophical argumentation
  • Analysis of disability studies literature
  • Legal and ethical reasoning

Main Results:

  • The article presents counterarguments that question the universal moral justification for inclusive education as a human right.
  • It acknowledges the significant practical and legal value of inclusive education for students with disabilities.
  • The theoretical consensus on the moral right to inclusive education remains elusive.

Conclusions:

  • While inclusive education is crucial, its status as an inherent moral human right is debatable.
  • The legal framework for inclusive education provides essential protection against discrimination and enhances the rights of students with disabilities.
