EDUCAZIONE UGUALE PER TUTTI "Gli Stati dovrebbero riconoscere il principio secondo il quale bisogna offrire ai bambini, ai giovani e agli adulti disabili opportunità uguali in materia di insegnamento primario, secondario e superiore, in un quadro integrato. Essi dovrebbero vigilare affinché l'educazione dei disabili faccia parte integrante del sistema di insegnamento" (Regole Standard N.U. sulle pari opportunità delle persone con disabilità). L’INTEGRAZIONE SCOLASTICA DEGLI ALUNNI DISABILI L'esperienza italiana di sistema educativo inclusivo costituisce un esempio positivo per l'inclusione sociale dei bambini con disabilità ed, al tempo stesso, una buona pratica da diffondere. Tutti gli alunni in situazione di handicap (anche grave) hanno diritto a frequentare le classi comuni delle scuole di ogni ordine e grado (scuola materna, elementare, media e superiore) – art. 12 Legge 104/92. Il diritto all'integrazione è garantito anche per l'asilo nido e l'università (art. 12 Legge 104/92).
