Inclusive Education

BC teachers are committed to the inclusion of all students. Every child deserves a quality education in a fully funded, universal public education system.  However, ongoing system underfunding means that many students do not have access to a full range of educational services in their community, and that teachers do not have the supports to meet the needs of all their students. BCTF research is conducting a three-year (2018–2021) study on the state of inclusive education in BC.
