In behalf of the Philippine Coalition on the UN CRPD, may we be shared
the documents and the final resolutions relative to Inclusive Education
in this Conference.
The Department of Education here in the Philippines has a continuing
debate on how Inclusive Education can be applied.
Certainly, whatever documents that the Conference would produce shall
be helpful in the on going debates here.
I wish you a very successful Conference.
