UNICEF REPORT
Question1
Drawing from the UNICEF report and case study above:
a). Analyse the impact of the principal's scepticism about inclusive education
on the overall learning environment at AFF Primary School.
The principal's scepticism about inclusive education has a detrimental impact on
the overall learning environment at AFF Primary School.
His scepticism likely leads to a lack of initiative and drive to implement inclusive
education policies effectively, despite the presence of national policies supporting such
initiatives. This creates an environment where inclusive education is not prioritized,
resulting in several negative consequences:
Without the principal’s support, teachers do not receive the necessary training and
resources to accommodate learners with barriers to learning. This leads to a lack of
preparedness and capability among teachers to effectively support and teach children
with disabilities or learning difficulties.
