 e\nDespite extensive global policy conversations about the need to meet th
 e United Nations Sustainable Development goals supporting more equitable e
 ducation\, no nation has come close to achieving truly inclusive classroom
 s and school communities at scale. While some countries have made signific
 ant strides to meet the needs of children with intellectual and developmen
 tal disabilities (IDD)\, nearly every country has fallen short in their ef
 forts to develop schools as settings for full social inclusion\, which req
 uires going beyond physical inclusion to create accessible and meaningful 
 learning settings for all\, including children with IDD.\nOn April 18\, th
 e Center on Universal Education at Brookings will hold its annual symposiu
 m on education system transformation\, co-hosted this year with Special Ol
 ympics and the Global Partnership for Education. This symposium will conve
 ne key policy and decision makers\, researchers\, and practitioners commit
 ted to advancing education for people with disabilities\, as well as learn
 ers with IDD themselves\, to address the question ”What would it take to
  transform education systems to be truly inclusive for learners with disab
 ilities?” The forum will seek to answer this question by elevating the v
 oices of those who are actively engaged in advancing social inclusion for 
 children and young people with disabilities in schools and communities acr
 oss the globe\, with particular emphasis on the Global South.
