INCLUSIVE EDUCATION


There have been drammatic changes in the education system in South Africa since 1994.The major change was the changing of the curriculum and the introduction of inclusive education on white paper six of education.



Inclusive education means that all learners from different races, cultures, religions and mentality are incuded in the same kind of education ruling out their ability and disability. Inclusive education gives power to the previously disadvantaged like people with disability, blacks and old illitterate people. Inclusive education came up with the idea of adult based education and including all learners in the same school.

Previosly the system was discriminating because black students has their own syllabus totally different from white's syllabus. Bantu education ,which was black people education was not effective while white education was more advanced as the result of that South Africa became unevenly developed . Inclusive education caters for every students there is no longer education for the whites, blacks and disabled.


Inclusive education also caters for students with illinesses such as HIV, no one is left out according to inclusive education.
