Inclusion
Inclusion is a process that helps overcome barriers limiting the presence, participation and achievement of learners, while increasing the participation of students in, and reducing their exclusion from, the cultures, curricula and communities of local schools.
Furthermore, the proposed model opened the space for future research and practice by adopting a holistic approach to understanding some of the potential social and demographic factors influencing social inclusion in the school environment.
