Summary:

In line with international thinking, South African education is moving towards a policy of inclusion. This is reflected in education policy and legislation developed after 1994. Inclusive education emphasizes the accommodation of all kinds of diversity, including diverse learning need, within ordinary classrooms. This book focuses on how in-service teachers, pre-service teachers, parents, learners and specialists can contribute to the development of inclusive education and its implications for society, communities, schools and classrooms. The authors attempt to provide clarity on theoretical perspectives and to promote the integration of theory and practice by focusing on components of successful inclusion such as school and classroom environments, assessment and learning support. The text will be of interest to teachers, parents, policy makers, administrators and students who care about the needs of learners and the development of an equitable education system in our country.
