World Declaration on Education for All (1990)
Meeting Basic Learning Needs
Every person – child, youth and adult – shall be able to benefit from educational opportunities designed to meet their basic learning needs.
Shaping The Vision
To serve the basic learning needs of all requires more than a recommitment to basic education as it now exists. What is needed is an “expanded vision” that surpasses present resource levels, institutional structures, curricula, and conventional delivery systems while building on the best in current practices.
Universalising Access And Promoting Equity
Basic education should be provided to all children, youth and adults.
Foccusing On Learning
Whether or not expanded educational opportunities will translate into meaningful development – for an individual or for society – depends ultimately on whether people actally leran as a result of those opportunities, i.e., whether they incorporate useful knowledge, reasoning ability, skills, and values
Broadening The Means And Scope Of Basic Education
Learning begins at birth
• The main delivery system for the basic education of children outside the family is primary schooling.
• The basic learning needs of youth and adults are diverse and should be met through a variety of delivery systems.
• All available instruments and channels of information, communications, and social action could be used to help convery essential knowledge and inform and educate people on social issues.
Enhancing The Environment For Learning
Learning does not take place in isolation. Societies, therefore, must ensure that all learners receive the nutrition, health care, and general physical and emotional support they need in order to participate actively in and benefit from their education.
Strengthening Partnerships
National, regional, and local educational authorities have a unique obligation to provide basic education for all, but they cannot be expected to supply everu human, financial or organizational requirement for this task. New and revitalized partnerships at all levels will be necessary:
Developing A Supportive Policy Context
Suppotive policies in the social, cultural, and economic sectors are required in order to realiza the full provision and utilization of basic education for invidual and societal improvement.
Mobilising Resources
If the basic learning needs of all are to be met through a much broader scope of action than in the past, it will be essential to mobilize existing and new financial and human resources, public private and voluntary.
Strengthening International Solidarity
Meeting basic learning needs constitutes a common and Universal human responsibility. It requires international solidarity and equitable and fair economic relations in order to redress existing economic disparities.

SKILLS-BASED HEALTH EDUCATION TO PREVENT HIV/AIDS
This section describes how skills-based health education can be used to prevent HIV/AIDS and reduce the stigmatization of those effected by the disease. The activities in this section, moreover, can be adapted for use in dealing with other health problems as discussed above.
Education is the key to reducing stigma and promoting greater understanding of HIV/AIDS. Your school is an important setting for educating children about HIV/AIDS, as well as for stopping the further spread of the HIV infection. Success in doing this depends upon how well we reach children and young adults in time to promote positive health behaviours and prevent the behaviours that place young people at risk.
Our crucial responsibility is to teach young people how to avoid either contracting the infection or transmitting it to other, as well as to promote the development of HIV-related schools policies. In this way, we can make important improvement in the quality of health education provided to young people in our schools, and we can take an important step towards improving the health of our communities.
A skill-based approach to HIV/AIDS uses participatory (active) learning techniques to:
• Help individuals evaluate their own level of risk;
• Examine their personal values and beliefs;
• Decide what actions to take to protect themselves and others from HIV; and
• Acquire skills that will help them to carry through on their decisions
Skill-based health education to prevent HIV/AIDS can be linked to other relevant issues already addressed in many of our schools, including pregnancy and reproductive health, population education, family life education, and prevention of substance abuse.
What are some of the ways you can begin a skill-based programme to prevent HIV/AIDS amongst our children? Let’s look at some of these in terms of activities that your schools can do, as well as what you can do with our children
Salamanca Statement and
Framework for Action on Special Needs Education (1994)
Statement
Article 2
We believe and pro claim that :
• Every child has a fundamental right to education, and must be given the opportunity to achieve and maintain and acceptable level of learning,
• Every child has unique characteristics, interests, abilities and learning needs,
• Educations systems should be designed and educational programmes implemented to take into account the wide diversity of these characteristics and needs,
• Those with special educational needs must be access to regular schools which should accommodate them within should a child centred pedagogy capable of meeting these needs,
• Regular schoolss with this inclusive orientation are the most effective means of combating discriminatory attitudes, creating welcoming communities, building in inclusive society and achieving education for all; more over, they provide an effective education to the majority of children and improve the efficiency and ultimately the cost-effectiveness of entire education system.
Article 3
We call upon all governments and urge them to :
• Give the highest policy and budgetary priority to improve their education systems to enable them to include all children regardless of individual differences or difficulties,
• Adopt as a matter of law or policy the principle of inclusive education, enrolling all children in regular schools, unless there are compelling reasons for doing otherwise, develop demonstration projects and encourage exchanges with countries having experience with inclusive schools,
• Establish decentralized and participatory mechanisms for planning, monitoring and evaluating educational provision for children and adults with special education needs,
• Encourage and facilitate the participation of parents, communities and organization of persons with dissabilities in the planning and decision-making processes concerning provision for special educational needs,
• Invest greater effort and early identification and intervention strategies, as well as in vocational aspects of inclusive education,
• Ensure that, in the context of a systemic change, teacher education programmes, both pre-service and in-service, address the provision of special needs education in inclusive schools.
Framework for Action
Article 3
The guiding principle that informs this Framework is that schools should accommodate all children regardless of their physical, intellectual, social, emotional, linguistic or other conditions. This should include disabled and gifted children, street and working children, children from remote or nomadic populations, children from linguistic, ethnic or cultural minorities and children from other disadvantaged or marginalized areas or groups. These conditions create a range of different challenges to school systems. In the context of this Framework, the term special educational needs’ refers to all those children and youth whose needs arise from dissabilities or learning difficulties. Many children wxperience learning difficulties and thus have special educational needs are some time during their schooling. Schools have to find ways of successfully educating all children, including those who have serious disadvantages and disabilities. There is an emerging consensus that children and youth with special educational needs should be included in the educational arrangements made for the majority of children. This has led to the concept of the inclusive school is that of developing a child-centred pedagogy capable of successfully educating all children, including those who have serious disadvantages and disabilities. […]
Article 4
[…] It assumes that human differences are normal and that learning must accordingly be adapted to the needs of the child rather than the child fitted to preordained assumptions regarding the pace and nature of the learning process. A child-centred pedagogy is beneficial to all students and, as a consequence, to society as a whole. […[ it can substantially reduce the drop-out and repetition […], while ensuring higher average levels of achievment. […] Child-centred school are, more over, the training ground for a poeople-oriented society that respects both the differences and the dignity of all human beings.
Article 6
[…] Inclusion and participation are essential to human dignity and to the enjoyment and exercise of human rights. […]
Article 7
The fundamental principle of the inclusive school is that all children should learn together, wherever possible, regardless of any difficulties or differences they may have. Inclusive schools must recognize and respond to the diverse needs of their students, […]
Article 10
[…] Experience, moreover, suggest that inclusive schools, serving all of the children in a community, are most successful in eliciting community support and in finding imaginative and innovative ways of using the limited resources that are available.
Article 18
Educational policies at all levels, from the national to the local, should stipulate that a child with a disabilitiy should attend the neighbourhood school that is, the school that would be attended if the child did not have a disability. […]
“I’ve come to the frightening conclusion that I am the decisive element in the classroom. It’s my personal approach that creates the climate. It’s my daily mood that makes the weather. As a techer, I have e tremendous power to make a child’s life miserable or joyous. I can be a tool of torture or an instrument of inspiration. I can humiliate or honour, hurt or heal. In all situations, it is my response that decides whetther a crisis will be escalated or de-escalated and a child humanised or dehumanised.”
Ginnot
“… we already have enough knowledge to develop schools that can be successful in educating all children. The big questions is, do we have the will to make it happen?”
Mel Ainscow, University of Manchester
