Its principal purpose is to facilitate access to education for
the persons with special needs still unreached. The Statement proclaims
that "every child has a fundamental right to education, and
must be given the opportunity to achieve and maintain an acceptable
level of learning". "Those with special educational
needs must have access to regular schools which should accommodate
them to within a child-centred pedagogy capable of meeting these needs".
The Statement "urges all governments to adopt as a matter of
law or policy the principle of inclusive education, enrolling
all children in regular schools".
