Summary/Abstract: This presentation aims to provide a rich contextual back-ground for the subsequent discussions. It gives a sketchy account of education policy making in Serbia from the perspective of the last 20 years of its development. Four discrete phases of this development will be described: 1) the nineties, with a special focus on civic activism and the development of a vibrant NGO community, 2) the begin-nings of reforms 2000-2004, characterized by post-war enthusiasm and the wish for “catching up with the world”, 3) the 2004-2008 period of conservativism in education and 4) the 2008-2012 social inclusion period. The case study of introducing inclusive education will be also presented, to il-lustrate the variety of barriers, views of diverse stakeholders and the interplay between national, local and school policy.
