SPEAKER SESSIONS

27 May, 2025 | 12:40 to 13:00
The rise of inclusive education in international schooling and what that looks like in practice, rather than platitude

As national government strategies place more and more emphasis on empowering and educating their indigenous populations across the GCC, international schools are seeking to become more inclusive and cater for children of a wider range of academic abilities. This session explores how inclusive education is evolving in the GCC, what it truly looks like in practice at Blenheim Schools' flagship inclusive international school - Beech Hall School Riyadh - and how schools can move from well-meaning platitudes to meaningful, measurable impact for all learners.
