         <description><![CDATA[<p>Against: I don't think that it is inclusive because there are still schools where teachers are not well prepared to support and adapt their clases to special needs students. That's why, parents sometimes prefer to put their children in special schools or to pay someone to teach personally to them.</p>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<p>I consider that nowadays Ecuador inclusive education has increased since more schools are welcoming students with special needs. For example, in the school I did my internships there were at least one of these students in each class and the teachers have to find the way to help them understand as well as the other students. However, I think there should be continued efforts in order to bridge the gap between policy and actual classroom. Karen Haro</p><p><br/></p>]]></description>
