On the Dirt Road to Inclusion
Wiazowski, Jaroslaw
International Journal of Special Education, v27 n2 p148-156 2012
Inclusive education in the Republic of South Africa has been codified and written down in the form of White Papers. From the legislative point of view, the situation is clear. The reality however shows that the implementation of the law is still at its infancy. Students with visual impairments are practically confined to being educated in specialized schools. This article is presenting a bold attempt to establish conditions for an inclusive setting where students with visual impairments could successfully study hand in hand with non-disabled peers. A small rural school in the Limpopo Province, RSA combines the best of two worlds--an inclusive school in the residential setting. Despite basic facilities in place, the school was struggling with providing quality education for its population. A series of on-site in-services paired up with the expansion of technological facilities proved to be instrumental in forming a model for an inclusive program.
