Peterson bring up in their article is that while we need to learn from countries such as Korea, Finland, Japan, the Netherlands, and Canada we must not copy exactly what they are doing but more so do what is best for our educational system (1.)

In doing this step I believe we can make our educational system more successful and proficient in comparison with these countries.

Education has changed drastically over time. “Children with special educational needs were seen as ‘imbeciles’ and the behaviour within the classroom was controlled by corporal punishment”; as cited in Changes in Education, 1994. Inclusion is about all children, not just children who have an SEN or an AEN need, which has stemmed from the 1970’s and 1980’s. Ofsted (2001) said inclusion is about ensuring that all children are included regardless of their SEN or AEN need, but also ethnicity, race, gender or religion. Analysis of both past and recent acts and legislations has shown the change within education and how SEN learners have had a greater impact on shaping education over time. The overview of Education discussed in this assignment will explain the development of education using the PESTLE framework (Buchanan and Huczynski, 2004).
