Promoting Inclusive Education in Africa

Abstract

As previously discussed, there has been a global move towards the inclusion of students with disabilities into regular education classrooms so that they can learn alongside their counterparts who do not have disabilities. Since the Salamanca Statement and Framework for Action in 1994, governments across the globe have been enacting policies aimed at promoting inclusive education. There are a number of factors that impact the successful implementation of inclusive education. This chapter provides a discussion of the different factors that may influence the successful implementation of inclusive education.
