| Why It Is Difficult To Move From A Policy of Special Schools to a Policy of Inclusion?

In South Africa (SA) the government is committed to inclusive education, but it is not yet geared for it. Hence only children from wealthy families can benefit from inclusion at this stage. Blind SA (BSA) assists multi-disabled learners, with blindness being one of the disabilities. After the end of apartheid, strong emphasis was put on the rights of an individual. A new education curriculum was implemented in 2012, and yet in 2015 most G12 learners in SA do not have their learning material in Braille. This raises the question: if the Education Department cannot solve the problems of learners in 22 schools, how will they manage if learners are spread out all over the country in say a thousand different schools? BSA will keep fighting for the rights of young learners. They are the next generation.
