Abstract

Education is a fundamental right for all citizen protected under the national laws as well as international conventions. Regardless of any condition and circumstances, it is guaranteed that every child has the right for education, as it is also clearly highlighted in the global program of Education for All (EFA). In line with this, the policy of inclusive education is the recent worldwide agenda for educational reform toward the no-discrimination in education. This paper is a content and analytic review on the national policy of inclusive education towards the education for all in Indonesia. Indonesia declared the Indonesia toward Inclusive Education on August 2011, and up to year 2015, 12 out of 34 provinces declared as the implementors province of inclusive education. The national policy of inclusive education in Indonesia called as The Regulation of National Ministry of Education (PERMENDIKNAS) Number 70 Year 2009. It was found that the number of the school implementing the inclusive education policy has significantly increased, supported also by the province and district related regulations. However, the context of the policy of inclusive education as the major guideline for the policy implementation has lead to various and even narrow perspective on the concept of inclusion. Much progress has been made, yet it is still much left to be accomplished to achieve the fundamental and universal rights on education to all society.
