QUESTION 1: DEFINING INCLUSIVE EDUCATION
INTRODUCTION
Inclusive education is more than just a teaching method—it is a commitment to equity,
dignity, and the recognition of all learners as valuable contributors to society. In South
Africa, inclusive education serves as a tool to give effect to the human rights guaranteed
in the Constitution and is considered a cornerstone in advancing social justice through
education. It is enshrined in foundational policies such as White Paper 6 (2001), the Bill
of Rights in the Constitution of the Republic of South Africa (1996), and the Salamanca
Statement (1994). Despite strong policy frameworks, schools often face challenges in
transforming these ideals into classroom realities. This article defines inclusive
education from both policy and practice perspectives and explores what schools and
teachers need to do to implement these policies effectively.
