Abstract

This chapter examined the whole school approach to inclusive education embedded in the Afrocentric perspective. It constitutes theories appropriate to the African context including Afrocentricity that places learners at the centre stage of teaching and learning. The philosophy moves learners from the margin and empower them through making them subjects and not the objects of pedagogy. The basic principles or canons of Afrocentricity are ukweli, utulivu, uhaki, ujamaa, and kujtoa. Accordingly, the whole school approach to inclusive education constitutes three inter-connected but interrelated dimensions of a school, namely school policies, culture, and practices which underpin the promotion of quality teaching and learning. This chapter is a springboard for future studies on Afrocentric perspectives to inclusive education.
