| Abstract: | This special issue is introduced. The issue draws together a selection of articles uniting theoretical and field research
dealing with the notion of inclusive education and the challenges encountered in the policy-making and implementation processes.
These articles represent diverse, multifaceted theoretical, disciplinary and methodological approaches to inclusion. Throughout
the issue, inclusion is seen as a guiding principle, helping to accomplish quality Education for All (EFA)—education systems
that benefit from diversity, aiming to build a more just, democratic society. This special issue is devoted to the theme of
the 48th International Conference of Education, “Inclusive Education: The Way of the Future” (Geneva, 25–28 November, 2008).
