This report looks at social, economic and cultural mechanisms that discriminate against disadvantaged children, youth and adults, keeping them out of education or marginalized in it. Released at the start of the decade of action to 2030, and in the middle of the Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) crisis, which has exacerbated underlying inequalities, the report argues that resistance to addressing every learner's needs is a real threat to achieving global education targets. It identified the practices in governance and finance; curricula, textbooks and assessments; teacher education; school infrastructure; and relations with students, parents and communities that can unlock the process to inclusion. The report also provides policy recommendations to make learner diversity a strength to be celebrated, a force for social cohesion.
