‘Promoting Inclusive Teacher Education’ is a series of five advocacy guides. The guides discuss challenges and barriers to inclusive education in different areas of teacher education and offer related strategies and solutions for effective advocacy towards more inclusive practices. The series begins with this introductory guide. It provides an overview of inclusive teacher education and of what advocacy means in this context. It also provides an introduction to the topics covered in the four other guides in the series. These are ‘Policy’, ‘Curriculum’, ‘Materials’, and ‘Methodology’.

Advocacy Guide 2: Policy – raising awareness of existing policies for inclusive education and changing/adapting policies at different levels in the education system (e.g. at the ministry, teacher education institution and school levels). Policy refers mainly to the guiding rules, laws and principles of education at the national level and within teacher education institutions. Policy guides the practices of individuals, groups and institutions on various inclusive education issues.
