Young Voices about Inclusive Education

Abstract

This chapter seeks to understand inclusive education, seen from the perspective of young people who had trouble learning at school. With the indirect approach, an explorative interviewing technique, we seek to find out what they, when looking back, think would have been important in order to learn. In this chapter, we meet three young people from Norway with the experience that their school was not sufficiently inclusive. All three point out that there should have been more room for being different and a greater focus on practical approaches to teaching.
