1.1 Provide five (5) reasons from the abstract why most schools in South Africa
are unable to accommodate learners with disabilities. Answer in your own words.
1. **Insufficient Specialised Schools**: There are not enough special schools
available for children with disabilities, which limits their access to appropriate
education. Many parents find it hard to secure spots for their children at these
schools.
2. **Lack of Resources**: Many schools do not have the necessary resources,
such as equipment and materials, that are needed to support students with
disabilities properly.
3. **Shortage of Qualified Staff**: There is a significant lack of trained educators
who are specialized in teaching children with different learning needs. This makes
it difficult for schools to provide the right support.
4. **Inconsistent Policy Enforcement**: Although there are policies in place, like
the South African Schools Act and the Inclusive Education policy, their
implementation is not consistent. This means that schools often do not follow
these guidelines effectively.
5. **Inadequate Training Programs**: There is a need for more targeted training
programs for teachers to equip them with the skills necessary to cater to diverse
, learning needs. Without proper training, teachers may feel unprepared to support
students with disabilities.

1.2 Discuss how you would implement the key principles of human rights in The

substantiate your answer
The Salamanca Statement Framework for Action on Special Needs Education
emphasizes the importance of inclusion and the right to education for all,
including children with disabilities. As highlighted in the extract from
Development Diaries, many children with disabilities in the Western Cape, South
Africa, are still struggling to access quality education due to insufficient resources,
specialized staff, and a lack of awareness about inclusive education. To address
these challenges, it is crucial to implement the key principles of human rights
outlined in the Salamanca Statement.
The Salamanca Statement asserts that every child has the right to education,
which is foundational for ensuring that all children, regardless of their abilities or
disabilities, can learn and thrive. To implement this principle, I propose the
following strategies:
