The text of the “Islamabad Declaration on Inclusive Education” reads: “Education is the right of every individual.
It is the duty of the state to provide quality education to each individual regardless of
gender, color, culture and religion.
“Each country of the cluster should formulate a national policy under their ministry of
education to make every educational institution, both in private and public sectors, open
and welcoming to all learners particularly those with disabilities and other special needs”
“We all commit to implement inclusive education in letter and spirit through the EFA as
committed by each cluster country by signing on international declaration; share human and
material resources within the cluster countries through government and civil society
organizations.

“Hold regular meetings of inclusive education experts, educators, policy-makers,
and implementers in cluster countries on rotational basis; undertake joint efforts to
address common issues such as school improvement, teacher training, adaptation of curriculum
and instruction and evaluation system.
“Identify, document and share successful experiences on inclusive education for possible
adaptation; develop uniform parameters for monitoring and evaluation of inclusive programmes;
create knowledge sharing networks to mobilize the media, both electronic and print, to promote
inclusive education by sensitizing the governments and civil society; allocate adequate financial
resources to achieve inclusive education goals.
