Comment by Nadia Afrin I completely agree with Huma Masood. I teach 3rd graders in a government primary school in Bangladesh and I have 60 students in my classroom. It is very difficult to focus on inclusion even if it in on the policy and not thought out implementation planning. 2020-02-21T13:46:17Z Comment by Zahida Batool Change in attitude is the main point to start working on inclusion. 2020-01-08T14:53:39Z
