Inclusive and Induvidualized?

I was reading about Alberta Educations proposal to revamp the Special Education Program yesterday and I noticed a trend that I find interesting. In the Summary Report for Phase 1 of this discussion it was reported that a number of people want an Education System for all students. That is they don't want separate programs for students, they want one system for all children. At the same time they also want a highly personalised program for students. My question is can people have it both ways?
Is it possible to have one system of education while catering to individual needs? Are the two ideas mutually exclusive?
I am not sure but it is an interesting process to watch.
