Example
South Africa
Introduction
In South Africa, the White Paper 6 provides guidelines for the implementation of inclusive education
in all schools. It outlines the principles which are prominent in inclusive education. South Africa is
also a signatory of several policies that support the implementation of inclusive education, both
locally and internationally. There are several policies and laws, in favour of inclusive education, which
gives all the learners opportunity to develop to their full potential.
Policies
Name the policies and what they stand for, briefly. You can choose a few policies in your Tutorial
Letter 101.
Current state
All learners, regardless of diverse needs, are required to be enrolled at schools in their
neighbourhoods, and their needs are expected to be met in that regular classroom. Learners from
previously marginalised groups can now learn alongside their peers in an effort to eradicate exclusion
in the education system.
Challenges
However, the implementation of inclusive education is faced with several challenges which include
lack of adequate resources, lack of qualified teachers, inadequate funding and unsuitable
infrastructure. Although the policy states that all learners, despite their ability or disability, should be
admitted to any school of their choice, schools are not ready to admit learners with diverse needs.
The buildings were not modified to accommodate, especially, the physically handicapped.
All schools were supposed to be renovated in order to accommodate all types of learners. Schools
lack adequate resources to accommodate different learners, for example, learners with hearing
impairments and visual impairments need special resources in the regular classrooms. Lack of
funding is affecting the smooth running of inclusive education. Bornman and Rose (2010) argue that
lack of support and resources, as well as the prevailing negative attitudes towards disability, all
contribute to the bewilderment in South African schools towards inclusive education
