Question 1
1.1 Read the information in the case study below to answer the questions that
follow.
Case study:
Empowering learners with disabilities in Africa Introduction: In many African
countries, learners with disabilities face various challenges in accessing
education. This case study explores the perspectives and experiences of
learners with disabilities in an African context. The focus is on a fictitious
country named Shangura, where efforts are being made to improve the
inclusivity of the education system. Although Shangura has its own cultural
beliefs, the country is growing in its recognition of the rights of learners with
disabilities. Community awareness campaigns and education programmes
provide insight into traditional practices that hinder inclusion. Parental
involvement is encouraged through regular communication, parent-teacher
meetings, and workshops on supporting learners at home. Community-based
initiatives include support groups and advocacy programmes to empower
parents and caregivers. Case study scenario: Shangura is a diverse country
in Africa with a rich cultural tapestry. The government has recently
recognised the need to look into the educational disparities faced by learners
with disabilities. The education ministry has implemented inclusive policies
and is working to create an environment that accommodates diverse learning
, needs, for instance by building accessible infrastructure and providing
assistive devices to ensure equal access to education for all learners,
including those with disabilities. Classrooms are adapted through flexible
seating arrangements, assistive technology, and additional learning
materials. Teacher training programmes include modules on inclusive
education, and ongoing support is provided through mentoring and
workshops. Continuous professional development is essential, and feedback
mechanisms are in place to deal with specific challenges faced by teachers.
Teachers in mainstream schools have been trained to identify learners with
disabilities through a combination of teacher observations, parent reports,
and formal assessments. Strategies to promote interaction and collaboration
among all students include peer support DPP1501/102/0/2024 7 systems,
group activities, and teacher collaboration to create an inclusive learning
environment. Assessment methods include standardised tests, observation
tools, and collaboration with special education professionals to determine
specific needs. Although the government faces challenges that include
funding limitations, measures are in place to ensure partnerships with non-
governmental organisations (NGOs) – and international organisations help
mitigate these issues.
