What are equity and inclusion in education? With all the transformations that countries are undergoing, how can we ensure that education systems support all students to achieve their potential? How do we empower schools, teachers, and school leaders to respond to the needs of their students?

The OECD’s Education for Inclusive Societies project has been exploring these questions to provide education systems with advice and recommendations on how to support all students, and in particular those from disadvantaged backgrounds. This session will provide an overview of the different ways in which policies can be designed to support equity and inclusion. In particular, the presentation will focus on the policies and practices that can be put in place at the school and classroom level, as to support not only students, but also teachers and school leaders.
