The volume illustrates the results of research carried out between 2018 and 2022 within international cooperation projects conducted in West Bank, East Jerusalem and Gaza.
After the creation of an Index for Inclusion and Empowerment with local teachers, the research team trailed its use in supporting inclusive and equitable education school policies and instructional design practices. The Index, conceived in partnership with NGO EDUCAID, aims to enrich the original tool, focused on inclusion only (Booth and Ainscow, 2011), with the value-added concept of empowerment, thus not only overcoming obstacles hindering learning in the situation experienced by Palestinians, but providing teachers and students tools to enhance self-confidence and awareness, autonomy and responsibility for the own and community benefit. Integrating inclusion and empowerment incorporates the will and capacity of the young Palestinian school system to be inclusive while providing individuals with such necessary competences.
