WFIEd and Universitas Negeri Malang Develop an International Inclusive Education Curriculum

Malang, September 18, 2025, the World Forum of Inclusive Education (WFIEd), in collaboration with Universitas Negeri Malang (UM), held a curriculum development workshop for inclusive education training at Swiss-Belinn Manyar Hotel, Surabaya. The event was fully supported by PT ACEnesia Ltd as the main sponsor.

The workshop was officially opened by the President of WFIEd, Ediyanto, M.Pd., Ph.D., and attended by UM lecturers Dimas Arif Dewantoro, M.Pd. and Rizqi Fajar Pradipta, S.Pd., M.Pd., two student representatives from UM, representatives of PT ACEnesia Ltd, and several WFIEd members.

The program began with a presentation on the paradigm and fundamental concepts of inclusive education. In his remarks, the WFIEd President emphasized the importance of the “1C 5P” framework, which consists of the conceptualization of inclusive education (1C) as well as services, learning, research, community engagement, and fostering positive culture and attitudes toward inclusive education (5P). This framework served as the main reference in developing the curriculum, training modules, and course profiles.

Throughout the sessions, UM lecturers provided valuable input, particularly stressing the need for the curriculum to address all stakeholders of inclusive education, from government and communities to education providers, so that its implementation can be fair and beneficial for all parties involved.

The outcomes of this collaboration are not only aimed at preparing the upcoming Training for 1,000 Inclusive Education Teachers to be organized by WFIEd, but also intended to serve as a foundation for governments, communities, and education providers to collectively improve the quality of inclusive education in Indonesia.

Aligned with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly SDG 4 (Quality Education), SDG 10 (Reduced Inequalities), and SDG 17 (Partnerships for the Goals), this initiative reflects a strong commitment to advancing inclusive, equitable, and high-quality education for all.

With the sponsorship of PT ACEnesia Ltd, this collaboration is expected to produce a comprehensive and equitable curriculum that will contribute to the realization of inclusive education at both national and international levels—bringing real impact to learners, educators, and communities worldwide.
