Authors : Ramel Serge .

Abstract

On January 16 and 17, 2020 was held in Lebanon, the 1st edition of the international REACH conference organized in partnership between the NGO T.I.E.S (Together for Inclusive Educational Systems) and the American University of Beirut. Meeting under the acronym Research for Education Accessibility Challenges, 31 participants from Lebanon, Jordan, France and Canada wished to contribute to open wider the doors to education for all in an inclusive aim. The crisis prevailing in many countries, and amplified by the COVID-19 requires education systems to be rethought so that they no longer contribute to maintaining or even increasing the inequalities already present in our societies. In this context, scientific research on the implementation of inclusive education is crucial for the improvement of our education systems.
