presentation on difference between special,integrated and inclusive educationrafseena s v s v
Special education refers to education for children with disabilities that is provided separately from mainstream education. It originated in the 1880s in India and focused on separate schools for specific disability categories like blindness, deafness, and intellectual disabilities. While special schools provide specialized resources and teachers with expertise, they can be disadvantageous by separating children from their families and communities. Integrated education aims to address these issues by including children with disabilities in ordinary schools part-time or full-time with some specialized support. It promotes social integration and helps remove the inferiority complex that children with disabilities may feel.

Potentials and Challenges on Indigenous Community-Based Education: A Critical...Che-Wei Lee
The document examines an indigenous community-based secondary school in Taiwan through critical ethnography. It aims to determine if the school achieves self-determination, analyze the relationship between the community and school, and identify challenges. Interviews found that while closing achievement gaps was a goal, teaching quality declined from administrative burdens. Community influence was also limited by mainstream structures. The school struggled with identity as either general or culturally focused, and promoting indigenous language faced practical barriers. It was unclear how community and school could mutually empower each other. Overall, the school and community were not well prepared to fully realize indigenous self-governance through education.
This document proposes a program called "Adopt a School" to address problems in primary education in India. It identifies issues like lack of teachers, poor infrastructure, and low literacy rates in rural areas. The program would have colleges and NGOs partner with local underserved schools.

They would work to incentivize children's learning and identify top students for advanced programs. The document also recommends reforms like regular teacher assessments and workshops to improve training. It proposes a governing system where institutions oversee partner schools and a parents' group facilitates communication.

The document summarizes an empirical study on the education system in India. It discusses the objectives of studying the pre-independence and post-independence periods. During pre-independence, education levels were very low, especially for women and poor families. After independence, the government expanded general education and institutions, increasing literacy from 19% to 65% between 1951-2001. It also developed technical education. Central government schemes targeted improving access to education for girls, disabled students, and minority groups. While evaluations emphasized exams, reforms are needed in the education system to focus more on skills and holistic development.
This document discusses the impact of community participation on the academic standards of secondary school students in Ijebu East, Nigeria. It provides background on the history of education in African communities and the role of communities in establishing early western-style schools. The researcher examines the relationship between schools and the Ijebu East community and how community involvement in school programs has positively influenced student performance and behavior. The document recommends increasing community participation through forming PTAs, including community members in school decision-making, and other measures to further develop student academic standards.
Each One Teach One Charitable Foundation is a nonprofit established in 1983 that aims to provide educational opportunities for underprivileged children in India. It supports over 10,000 students annually through programs like basic education, health initiatives, and personality development workshops. The organization has ambitious goals to enrich the lives of 40,000 children through strengthening their intellectual and emotional skills. It measures its success based on high academic performance and graduation rates of its students.
Primary education aims to teach basic literacy and numeracy skills. However, India faces several challenges in primary education including insufficient teachers, lack of infrastructure, and uninterested parents. This is particularly a problem in rural areas. Proposed solutions include increasing the number of schools, reforming curriculum, providing more training to teachers, and optimizing the pupil-teacher ratio to enhance the quality of primary education in India. Implementing these changes could improve learning outcomes but would also face challenges like training many teachers in a short time and changing the existing system.
This document discusses the advantages and disadvantages of learning in a multicultural school environment. The key advantages are that students are exposed to different cultures through international celebrations, it fosters acceptance and tolerance by encouraging interaction between diverse groups, and it teaches multiple perspectives by incorporating different cultural experiences into lessons. However, disadvantages include potential language barriers, cultural differences in behaviors and communication styles, difficulties communicating with diverse families, and ensuring teachers are prepared to address cultural conflicts. Overall, the document concludes that the benefits of learning in a multicultural environment outweigh the challenges.

This document discusses embedding care into health systems through the Strive to Thrive initiative. The initiative developed a rapid assessment tool to evaluate six areas (clinic services, health workers, supplies, health data, financing, and governance) as well as care, connection to the health system, and community involvement. Assessments have been conducted at over 20 sites. The dashboard measures care through questions about respecting patient rights, listening to concerns, and satisfaction with quality and privacy of services. Americares also embeds care by protecting health workers, providing mental health support, and addressing gender-based violence.

1.
2. Background about Batwa in Burundi
• One of three ethnic groups
(hutus, tutsis, twa)
• Estimated to be 1% of
population
• Originally were nomadic
forest people known as
‘pygmies’. But with
deforestation they have been
resettled into communities
but do not adapt well to
agrarian life.
• Highly stigmatized, considered
by other groups to be dirty,
uneducatable, subhuman
3. Background about Hope School
Founders:
Innocent Mahwikwizi,
Beatrice Munezero
MIssion
• Help Batwa integrate into the
dominant culture through education
(mainstream education for the country
so they can go on to higher ed in
Burundi)
• Give Batwa pride in their identity
(cultural education)
• Participant driven initiative with
student committee input, Parent
committee input, Teacher committee
input, Batwa elder committee input
Innocent and Beatrice are Batwa
themselves, raised as orphans in a
different ethnic group but identify strongly
with the plight of Batwa in Burundi.
4. Approaches and Rationale
1) MCC supports core costs
(teacher salaries) and
evaluates outcomes (no
short-term exit strategy)
2) Other donors (Christian Aid
and FFHIA) support other
projects classroom
constuction, (and library)
3) Students use Burundian
public school curriculum-- to
be mainstreamed into
second level of secondary
school (11th grade)
4) Education includes a cultural
component learning about
Twa culture, music, dance,
history
1. Sustainability - Education
does not go away even after
the live of the project.
2. MCC’s long-term
commitment to the school
allows other donors to fund
one-off projects that are
easier to draw constituent
interest (complementarity)
3. Integration into dominant
culture is the desired
outcome
4. Mainstreaming but retaining
pride in their identity
5. • Reality---Quality of education in
Burundian system is poor,
curriculum over ambitious—4
languages by ninth grade (for
example)
• Practice---Teachers are
gatekeepers---rote learning--
failure is an objective—only let the
brightest continue,--
• Build capacity of teachers during
summer modules to develop child-
centered learning
• Results based evaluations of
project based on student success
on national exams!
6. Obstacles to Success (donor identified)
1) Child centered education requires inputs: books,
supplies, teaching materials
Response:
Advocacy for private donation which resulted in:
• Shipment of 6000 books and hundreds of teaching
materials, posters, art supplies, etc.
• Construction of library by another donor FFHIA.
2) No Access to clean water and decent latrines
Response:
Installation of rainwater collection tanks and improved
latrines
7. Obstacles to Success
(teacher/ administration identified)
• Absences due to illness
• Poor eyesight of many students
• Poor retention of girls beyond grade six (parental
disapproval, seduction by local boys)
Response:
• Arrangements made with local clinic to accept students
for treatment on credit (paid by donor)
• Sponsored visit to Bujumbura with a busload of
students to receive eye exam and glasses
• Advocacy with parents of individual girls by partner,
incentives: soap, sanitary napkins, new underwear
8. Obstacles to Success
(student identified)
• Hunger
• Lack of light to study in evening after chores
Response
• School feeding are known to raise test scores but
recognition of food security as a community problem
made this intervention seem unwise as it was not likely
to increase consumption of food by students. Decision
to focus a different program on improving food security
in the community.
• Lack of light– solar powered lights installed in one
classroom and the library and evening study sessions
arranged for students with support by academic prefect.
9. Obstacles to Success
(parent identified)
Anxiety about children
going on to secondary
school away from the
community
Response:
• Long-term goal of
building a second
level secondary
school (education
degree) to the
community. (Began
last year)
10. OUTCOMES
• Teachers are pedagogically oriented toward student success (shared
vision)
• School is equipped to provide student-centered education
• Students are empowered to see their capacity and responsibility in
succeeding
• Parents and Batwa elders are advocates and supporters of the
school
• The Nyangungu community has come to see the Batwa as social
equals and are pleased to send their non-Twa children to Hope
School.
• Since 2012, more than 50% of students in 10th grade pass national
exam
• In 2014, for the first time, 2 Twa girls from the school succeeded in
10th grade and passed the national exam!!
11. Lessons Learned
• Objectives and indicators ofproject success need
to be contextually defined.
• Long-term commitment (> 20 years) with small
inputs is effective and creates a platform for
short-term interventions as well. (Small FBOs can
this niche)
• Participants/stakeholders (teachers, parents,
community leaders, students) can identify and
help solve their own problems and insure success
of the project.
