description This dissertation uses a multidisciplinary analysis to examine the historical development of the divergent approaches to Special Education adopted by Cuba and Britain. Interrogating the complex set of intersecting and often conflicting historical, economic, political, cultural and social contexts which inform these approaches, the study offers insights into the reasons for a gap between policies and practice in terms of ‘inclusion’ and participation for those with SEND in state education in Britain, as well as identifying some unique features which support inclusion and participation within the contemporary Cuban system, an under-researched area within academic literature.
