Although recent policy pronouncements highlight that the Republic of Cyprus (hereafter Cyprus) is currently transitioning to inclusive education, exclusionary pressures increase and take new forms of segregation that are, nevertheless, linked with past policies and practices. This chapter discusses a series of national developments, and places them within the broader context of segregated education in Cyprus. Some of these developments are the policy initiatives that strengthen special education structures and the disinvestment in services and structures that support exclusion. These developments are interpreted through the concept of ableism, which describes the dominant understanding that persons with disabilities are less human and live in inferior bodies compared to people without disabilities who are seen as superior to people with disabilities (Bolt, 2015; Campbell, 2009; Goodley, 2021). Ableism brings to the forefront oppressive discourses and normalised justifications of segregating policies and practices which are termed inclusive. The chapter ends with a discussion of the main challenges of an education system that continues to develop without questioning the oppressive nature of segregating policies and structures.
