Inclusive Education takes off 2015

The government will roll out inclusive education across the country from September 2015, a Deputy Director of Education, Special Education Division, Mr Thomas Patrick Otaah, has announced. Inclusive education is the process of ensuring access to quality education for all children irrespective of the child’s background, religious affiliation and geographical location, among others. It also includes integrating children with special needs with other children in the same classroom. Mr Otaah, who announced this at an orientation session for district and regional actors and drivers of the implementation of the policy, said the Inclusive Education Policy was being fine-tuned and it was expected that by the end of this year it would have been completed, launched and implemented. The workshop, organised in Accra by UNICEF, was to solicit ideas to help fine-tune the policy.
