In this beautiful island of Jamaica, there are many policies on education coming from the central office, Ministry of Education. The Early Childhood Commission who deals with the basic and infant schools, nurseries and so on that works alongside the Ministry of Education that takes information from the head office. The government believes that all children must be enrolled in an educational institution, regardless of race, creed, colour, religion just to name a few.. There is a Ministry slogan that states, "Every Child Can Learn. And Every Child Must Learn. In the vision 2030 of this country, the education policy is now geared towards inclusion. There are a lot of changes and challenges a long the way but its a little better than before. More of these students are now enrolled in a more inclusive teaching and learning setting. There are penalties for parents who do not allow their child to get an education. Its a 'Childs Rights Act'.

We have four (4) types of school setting available here as well;:
* Mainstream
* Regular
* Special Needs
* Inclusive

The mainstream - I remembered as a child and then as a student teacher , visiting the School of Hope. This school caters to learners with special needs and without. The teacher will have to create a balance without the classroom setting to reach all the learners.

Regular - Regular school setting, this is where children without disability(ies) can maneuver themselves without intervention.

Special Needs - This school deals with learners with direct disability or multiple disabilities. Some school are:
* School of Hope
* Lister Mair Gilby School for the Deaf
* Salvation Army for the Blind
* Phoenix Academy among others

Inclusive - This is the setting that continuous planning of programmes and lessons to deal with the children who has learning challenges. The facilitator will have to plan for each learner according to his or her ability.

The policies in our country, speaks about inclusion but there is no greater emphasis on it. The government has been trying but still lacks more resources, classrooms and facilitators . There is a primary school in Kingston, Jamaica that has a special unit that deals disability(ies) student(s). The children that enters this primary school unit is more physical than mental. Hence, to say that although there is a special needs unit on the school compound, there are other students who attends the regular school setting. This is the form of inclusion that has been taking place over the years but its coming to an end. As more have been put in place to see inclusion.
