Activity 2.5 School policies to support inclusive education

I would say that there are no policies put in place at my school for an inclusive educational environment. My recommendations would be to have weekly meetings between the class teacher and the Special Ed Teachers. This will allow the class teacher to address any problems or concerns that she/he may have, as well as help with the preparation of work. I believe that there should also be a monthly meeting with parents to discuss and deal with any matters concerning the students and their parents.

Hi Patrice you made some valid recommendations. I also worked at a school that had no policies in placed, before registration they would screen the child and if discovered any disabilities the child was not admitted to the school

I most certainly agree because I have worked within a school where in this case the children are accepted except that the teachers are not trained to cater for the needs of the children and a Special Education Teacher rarely visits the school because she is attached to other schools within the area and these children are left to roam the school during class time. Most definitely there should be regular meetings held with parents and teachers to educate and share information so that teaching and learning can be done effectively.

Sadly, the reality is that some of the schools are not equipped to cater for the needs of children with disabilities whether it is the physical environment or teachers not possessing the skills or knowledge for special education.
