Inclusive Education in Indonesia: Sharing Practices, Building Partnerships, and Supporting Pre-service Teachers

This collaborative project aims to critically engage academia, practice, and action. It aligns with the international inclusive education policies, including the Education for All (UNESCO 1990) and the 1945 Constitution of the Republic of Indonesia, which states that everyone has an equal right to receive education (Oktadiana and Wardana, 2019). It considers the following education settings in Indonesia: kindergartens, inclusive schools, mainstream/community schools, special schools, and private schools. The key objectives include:
· Exploring ideas, sharing knowledge, and identifying culturally situated best practices.
· Developing two open access hybrid modules that support a holistic understanding of inclusive education in Indonesia.
· Establishing partnerships between universities, pre-service teachers, school settings and communities that will contribute to the sustainability of this project’s outputs after the project life.
