Jane’s story
I remember sending my mother all-round the shopping centre – I must have driven
her mad – to buy me a loc...
, 9.1.1.1 Two words used by teachers in the extract from Jane's story that suggest
confusion between special education and inclusive education are "special" and "frail."
These words imply that Jane was treated as someone who needed special care and was
considered fragile, reinforcing a segregationist approach to education. Additionally, the
phrase "no employment was ever envisaged" suggests a lack of belief in Jane's potential
for meaningful participation in society, further indicating a limited understanding of
inclusive education.
9.1.1.2 The story reveals that the physical environment did not accommodate learners like
Jane through the mention of "endless corridors" that Jane had to navigate in her
wheelchair. This indicates a lack of accessibility and consideration for the needs of
learners with physical disabilities, making it difficult for them to move around comfortably
and independently.
9.1.1.3 The evidence from Jane's story that suggests the school curriculum did not cater to
learners like Jane is the mention of "endless hours of physio" and "tons of art and craft."
Instead of focusing on academic subjects such as reading, writing, and math, Jane's
experience primarily involved activities like physiotherapy and art and craft. This suggests
a lack of educational opportunities that would support her cognitive development and
academic growth.
9.1.1.4 The evidence from Jane's story that suggests the school system did not prepare
learners like her for the world of work is the statement "since no employment was ever
envisaged." This indicates that the school did not have an expectation or plan for
equipping students like Jane with the necessary skills, knowledge, and opportunities to
pursue employment in the future.
9.1.1.5 a) The school struggled to implement the principle of acknowledging that specially
trained teachers at special schools teach children who experience barriers to learning, as
evidenced by Jane's mention of being treated as someone who needed "special care."
This implies that the school relied on the notion of special education rather than
recognizing the role of inclusive education in supporting all learners.
b) The school struggled to change attitudes, behavior, teaching methods, curricula, and
the environment to meet the needs of all learners, as indicated by Jane's experience of
being treated as "frail" and her engagement in activities like physiotherapy and art and
craft instead of a well-rounded academic curriculum. This suggests a lack of inclusivity in
the school's approach. 9.1.1.6 According to the European Agency for the Development of
Special Education, the aim of inclusive education is to ensure that all learners, regardless
of their abilities or disabilities, participate in and benefit from quality education in
mainstream schools, without segregation or discrimination. to make it acceptable.
