UNESCO suggests that promising policy options should promote a clear and common understanding of key concepts among all relevant stakeholders at all levels, perform diagnoses of existing policies and legal frameworks, foster equity and inclusion throughout all educational policies, and ensure equity and inclusion by implementing an inclusive education system, regulatory and legal frameworks.
