EPALE - Electronic Platform for Adult Learning in Europe

The purpose of this paper is to give an overview of the main conclusions and recommendations of the Agency analysis on the topic of Multicultural Diversity and Special Needs Education, and highlight how the project recommendations may also contribute to other EU and international policy priorities.
In the area of special needs education, practitioners, researchers and decision-makers at EU and national levels have shown a growing interest in the situation of students with SEN with an immigrant background. In particular, there is a concern that these students from different cultural backgrounds experience multiple disadvantages in education.
