Canadian scholars have made significant impacts on inclusive education across the globe. The UN’s 2016 call to action for equitable and inclusive education for all children by 2030, prompted many nations to examine their current education practices specific to children with disabilities and work to ensure all children have access to participate fully in school. This symposium brings together scholars to discuss Canada’s connection and impact to inclusive education at multiple levels from policy to schools, in various parts of the world.
