At the University of Birmingham we are committed to creating a fairer world. We want to tackle inequality and drive meaningful change that benefits individuals, families and society as a whole.
We are delighted to share that aim, and work in partnership with, the YTL Foundation in Malaysia. YTL Foundation has a long and rich history of building better societies through education. It believes in empowering individuals and communities to be catalysts of change.
Together, University of Birmingham and YTL Foundation are championing inclusive education.
Inclusive education is rooted in the belief that every child, regardless of their perceived abilities, disabilities or background, has the right to participate in a mainstream educational environment. The philosophy emphasises that diversity among students should be embraced and that educational systems, as well as classroom practices, should be designed to accommodate the needs of all learners.
We strive to promote inclusive education where all children can thrive. On our programme teachers learn about universal designs for learning; about adaptive teaching; about how collaboration, in classrooms, schools and communities, drives learning; and about how a positive classroom environment – that puts positive relationships first – underpins
