| Abstract: | The UNESCO International Bureau of Education (IBE), through the Community of Practice (COP) in Curriculum Development, organized
eight Regional Preparatory Workshops on Inclusive Education in 2007. These workshops had the overall goal of initiating a
participatory, consultative process in order to highlight key issues and challenges regarding inclusive education, to be presented
at the 48th session of the International Conference of Education (ICE) 2008. Each preparatory regional workshop centred on
four sub-themes around which the IBE Council has proposed to articulate the 48th ICE: Approaches, Scope and Content; Public
Policies; Systems, Links and Transitions; Learners and Teachers. In the framework of conceptual dimensions of inclusive education,
and the sub-themes of ICE 2008, this article identifies trends across regions within the ICE sub-themes and highlights points
for future debate on inclusive education.
