Special Education for All? Inequality Gap and the New Level Playing Field for Special and Inclusive Education in the Next Normality

Abstract

The current situation is changing rapidly in terms of technology, politics, economy and society. Every child could become a child with special educational needs should they no longer be fit to join a future world. In this sense, to survive in the world of next normality, an era in which the playing field for all children is levelled, it is thought-provoking to consider how the new way of special and inclusive education should be designed to close the inequality gap and create an equilibrium. This chapter focuses on describing how special and inclusive education in the next world with the inevitable high inequality gap should be designed.
