Routledge.97810328889589781003540229http://hdl.handle.net/20.500.11861/27539This chapter explores diversity and inclusion from policy, legal, and organisational perspectives, providing insights into the evolving discourse on promoting inclusion, particularly within the context of Integrated Education in Hong Kong. It also aims to draw comparisons with Japan and South Korea. It addresses the theoretical and practical challenges of implementing this policy in school leadership and discusses how contextual conditions influence diversity and inclusion policies. The interaction between local and global sociocultural forces often affects the development and execution of these policies. A general review of Hong Kong’s Integrated Education policies necessitates understanding the ideological, legal, sociopolitical, and cultural factors that foster inclusivity. The chapter highlights implications for how school leaders can manage learner diversity, ensure equal treatment, and empower teachers to support students with special educational needs (SEN) and those from culturally diverse backgrounds.enBook Chapter
