Summary/Abstract: This paper examines the evolution of inclusive education in France from a legal, institutional, and ethical perspective. Initially structured around disability and integration, French educational policy progressively shifted toward an inclusive paradigm grounded in accessibility, equity, and participation for all learners. The study analyzes the historical construction of compulsory schooling, the articulation between mainstream and specialized education, and the role of medico-social institutions. It further explores administrative coordination tools, professional practices, and research approaches supporting inclusive schooling. Finally, the paper discusses ethical challenges related to educational justice, teacher training, and inclusive didactics within the French Republican school model
