 Question 1

1. Read the information in the case study below to answer the questions that follow.

Case study: Empowering learners with disabilities in Africa

Introduction: In many African countries, learners with disabilities face various challenges in accessing
education. This case study explores the perspectives and experiences of learners with disabilities in an
African context. The focus is on a fictitious country named Shangura, where efforts are being made to
improve the inclusivity of the education system. Although Shangura has its own cultural beliefs, the
country is growing in its recognition of the rights of learners with disabilities. Community awareness
campaigns and education programmes provide insight into traditional practices that hinder inclusion.
Parental involvement is encouraged through regular communication, parent-teacher meetings, and
workshops on supporting learners at home. Community-based initiatives include support groups and
advocacy programmes to empower parents and caregivers.

Case study scenario: Shangura is a diverse country in Africa with a rich cultural tapestry. The
government has recently recognised the need to look into the educational disparities faced by learners
with disabilities. The education ministry has implemented inclusive policies and is working to create
an environment that accommodates diverse learning needs, for instance by building accessible
infrastructure and providing assistive devices to ensure equal access to education for all learners,
including those with disabilities. Classrooms are adapted through flexible seating arrangements,
assistive technology, and additional learning materials. Teacher training programmes include modules
on inclusive education, and ongoing support is provided through mentoring and workshops.
Continuous professional development is essential, and feedback mechanisms are in place to deal with
specific challenges faced by teachers. Teachers in mainstream schools have been trained to identify
learners with disabilities through a combination of teacher observations, parent reports, and formal
assessments. Strategies to promote interaction and collaboration among all students include peer
support systems, group activities, and teacher collaboration to create an inclusive learning
environment. Assessment methods include standardised tests, observation tools, and collaboration with
special education professionals to determine specific needs. Although the government faces challenges
that include funding limitations, measures are in place to ensure partnerships with non-governmental
organisations (NGOs) – and international organisations help mitigate these issues.

1.1. How are learners with disabilities identified in Shangura's education system?

In Shangura's education system, learners with disabilities are identified through a combination of
teacher observations, parent reports, and formal assessments.
