**2. Inclusive education and exclusive practice**

Inclusive education refers to an educational approach that aims to provide equal opportunities for all students, regardless of their diverse backgrounds, abilities, or disabilities. It places a strong emphasis on developing welcoming learning environments that support each learner's sense of belonging, involvement, and achievement. Exclusive practices, on the other hand, are actions or rules that put up obstacles and prevent specific people or groups from receiving a high-quality education.
