Abstract	The education of children with diverse backgrounds and abilities remains a major challenge in the Asia-Pacific region. In April 2000, the World Education Forum held in Dakar, Senegal, set as its second goal: "ensuring that by 2015 all children, particularly girls, children in difficult circumstances and those belonging to ethnic minorities, have access to and complete free and compulsory primary education of good quality." Realizing this goal means increasing school attendance and completion rates; eliminating bias within schools, national education systems, and curricula; and eliminating the social and cultural discrimination that limits the demand for schooling for children with diverse backgrounds and abilities. Inequality in education remains a matter of concern for all countries, yet discrimination continues to permeate schools and educational systems. To bridge this gap, it is critical to sensitize teachers and education administrators about the importance of inclusive education. It is equally critical to give them practical tools to analyze their situation and ensure that all children are in school and learning to their fullest capacity, as well as ensuring equity in the classroom, in learning materials, in teaching and learning processes, in school policies, and in monitoring learning outcomes. This Toolkit accepts this challenge and offers a holistic, practical perspective on how schools and classrooms can become more inclusive and learning-friendly. This toolkit contains six booklets which aim to help teachers, school administrators, parents and children create schools which are inclusive for all. The toolkit aims to assist teachers to acknowledge the diverse range of backgrounds amongst students and to build on the strengths of the children. It can be adjusted to the specific needs of each school, classroom and child and should not be read as a 'recipe book'. The booklets are easy to read and contain tables, illustrations, checklists and examples to illustrate the application of inclusive schools. Booklet 1: Becoming an inclusive, learning-friendly environment (ILFE). Booklet 2: Working with families and communities to create an ILFE Booklet 3: Getting all children in school and learning Booklet 4: Creating inclusive, learning-friendly classrooms Booklet 5: Managing inclusive, learning-friendly classrooms Booklet 6: Creating a healthy and protective ILFE.
