Abstract
Inclusive education and social justice are exactly like the two wings that a bird needs to fly in the quest for sustainable development in the global community. This paper targets the convergences of inclusive education, social justice, and sustainable development. It will address the systematic education in which all are included. Thereby, their rights to primary education are released, will call for reduction and, if possible, elimination of differences among educational settings, and will argue that an education system is a valuable tool for the restoration and empowerment of most vulnerable groups, thus contributing to social justice, will be examined. In addition, the paper will look at the place of inclusive education in the developmental process and elucidate the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), which also contain the Goal 4 provision that ensures inclusive and equitable quality education for all. The last part will offer the directive points for implementation.
