3.7 Inclusivity challenges

I agree with Linda on the challenges experienced here in Kenya.

In my context these challenges exists:

1. Private sector's ignorance - the core business of most private schools is profit. many schools admit learners with disabilities with the aim of making money , but without their needs at heart. Therefore there's lack of competent personnel and resources to support inclusivity in private schools.

2. parents' ignorance - most parents with learners with special needs/ disabilities are  in denial and wouldn't welcome any discussion on this.            In this case, If schools would build a relationship with specialists, it would be easy to approach parents and encourage them for assessments of their children identified to have special needs.

3.Difficulties at home- Its so unfortunate that many homes and families are breaking , fighting and separating thus affecting the children psychologically.

There's need of different stakeholders to embark on programmes that will instill and encourage  the need of valuing and upholding a family unit.
