QUESTION 1
Despite governments adopting inclusive education policies, exclusion in education still
exists in many parts of the world, including South Africa. I agree with the statement by
Clasquin-Johnson & Johnson (2025) that inclusive policies have not fully removed
exclusion. Although policies like South Africa’s White Paper 6 (2001) promise inclusive
education, many learners are still left behind. Below are five key reasons why exclusion
persists even when inclusive policies are in place.
1. Policy Implementation Gaps
One major reason for ongoing exclusion is the failure to implement policies effectively.
While governments may introduce inclusive policies, there is often a lack of training,
funding, or resources to put these policies into practice. For example, many teachers in
South African schools do not receive proper training in inclusive teaching methods. As a

INTRODUCTION
Inclusive education is a key focus in modern schooling systems, aiming to ensure
that all learners—regardless of ability, background, or need—receive equal
opportunities to succeed. While inclusive policies have been widely adopted,
exclusion still persists in many classrooms and schools, especially in contexts like
South Africa (Clasquin-Johnson & Johnson, 2025). This assignment explores
whether current inclusive education policies are truly effective in practice, and
provides five reasons to support the view that exclusion continues. It also considers
what kind of support teachers need to accommodate diverse learners, including
those with learning barriers, disabilities, or language differences. Furthermore, the
assignment proposes ten practical strategies that schools can implement to create a
truly inclusive school culture. These strategies involve the collaboration of all
stakeholders—teachers, parents, learners, and community members. By addressing
these issues, the assignment aims to contribute toward understanding and improving
the implementation of inclusive education in real learning environments.
