Meeting the Needs of All: Why Schools in Kuwait are Failing to Meet Their Moral Obligation and What Can Be Learned From the U.S. Education System

Inclusive education is an aim for all nations. To achieve that
goal, countries such as Kuwait need to focus on educational policies and
strategies designed to ensure that all students benefit from an appropriate
educational environment. Factors needed to create inclusive schools are
leadership, vision, commitment, professional development and effective
instructional practices centered on individualized and differentiated
curricula. First, the authors of the paper describe the United States (U.S.)
experience with inclusion and how Kuwait can reshape, import, and adopt
the U.S. special education model. Second, the authors present
recommendations for implementing inclusive education. It is hoped that
the recommendations made in this paper move Kuwait forward in a
speedy manner as they design and implement inclusive education policy.
