MAKING-SCHOOLS-INCLUSIVE
What is making school inclusive?
Making education more inclusive requires schools and education authorities to remove the barriers to education experienced by the most excluded children – often the poorest, children with disabilities, children without family care, girls, or children from minority groups.
It is about truly giving equal access opportunities and removing all barriers. It is about building an inclusive culture that supports and encourages learners to be themselves and contribute to their fullest potential, which means we can help to unlock the benefit of a diverse classroom for everyone.

KEY DEBATES ON INCLUSIVE EDUCATION
INCLUSIVE EDUCATION:
Inclusive education – also called inclusion – is education that includes everyone, with non-disabled and Disabled people (including those with “special educational needs”) learning together in mainstream schools, colleges, and universities
KEY DEBATES ON INCLUSIVE EDUCATION
1. Should teaching methods be adapted to students’ needs?
2. Does inclusive education necessarily imply greater participation by families and community networks in the educative process?
3. Are resources the key to the development of inclusive education policies?
4. What role should the state and public education authorities play in the movement for inclusive education?
5. Inadequate Funding:
6. Barriers to Inclusive Education
7. Overcoming barriers
8. “Inclusion may not be beneficial for all students”

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

2. Introduction
The struggle for Special Needs / Inclusive Education dates as far back as 1960’s, in
the United States, when advocates joined the civil rights movements to agitate for
promotion of equal rights (Anti-Defamation League, 2018; Wikipedia, 2021).
But in 1994, countries sat in Salamanca and adopted what came to be known as the
Salamanca Statement and Framework for Action on Special Needs Education.
Uganda is now signatory to this, and other international agreements that provide for
learners with special needs (MoES, 2019).
Nevertheless, Special Needs / Inclusive Education (ED) stressfully remains a dream
concept, in the minds of stakeholders, to address the injustice that has, in many
ways, persisted against Children with Disability (CwD) in Uganda (Enabel Ed ,
2017).
It is a cardinal role of society to guarantee equity in exercise of human rights.
And this presentation examines government policy and influence on Teaching.

3. Special Needs Education Policy in Uganda
It is Enshrined in Article 35 of the 1995 Constitution, and operationalized by The
Persons with disabilities Act (2006), later repealed by Act 3 of 2020.
Both instruments demand for access, equity and quality as regards educational
services for persons with special learning needs.
The Vision is ”Learners with special needs Accessing Quality education services
equitably”.
The 2011 policy stipulates guidelines for provision of specialized instructional
materials, equipment and supportive services.
It also provides for training of special needs and inclusive education personnel.
It also guides on access to physical environment in schools, the curriculum,
assessment and information.

4. Special Needs Education Policy –Cont’d
The Persons with Disability Act (2006) in Article 5 provides for Education calling for,
among others;
Inclusive Education, aligning educational policies and design, providing for
alternative learning environment where inclusivity is not viable, inclusion of a module
on SNE in teacher training, enforcing and recruiting SNE teachers, schools
mainstreaming, and provision of assistive services during examinations including
extra time.
It also called for 10% of the entire education budget at all levels being dedicated to
special needs Quality education.
And completely prohibited discrimination of persons with disability in education.
The 2020 repealing went on to provide thorough guidelines on leadership.

5. Influence of the Policy
The policy has a number of success to pride in, and among which include:
Higher Education Institutions have already included the Special Needs Education
Management modules in their programs.
There is a slowly, but progressive shift in approach to Special Needs Education.
Originally, Learning support was and still is provided in special schools and in
special classes (Units/Annexes) integrated in the ordinary schools
Summarily, this approach takes care of learners with visible impairments, usually in
the severe-profound levels requiring specialized support.
Currently there are a number of schools in the country where inclusive education is
being practiced (Ssenkaaba 2014).

6. Influence of the Policy --- Cont’d
The present trend of inclusive Education and policy thrust embraces has directed
education towards;
modifications in curricular, teaching methods, teaching/learning resources, medium of
communication and adjusting the learning environment to meet individual learning
needs.
SNE is literary moving teaching towards learner centered, flexible and adjustable
pedagogy able to meet the individual needs and potential of every child.
It is all about changing attitudes, behavior, teaching methods, curriculum,
environment and allocation of human, material and financial resources to meet the
educational needs of all learners.

7. Influence of the Policy --- Cont’d
There has been an increase There are currently 17 special schools, 84 attached
units, and 27 all-inclusive schools at primary (The World Bank, 2020).
The same report, above, updates that our Secondary level has five special schools,
10 mainstream units and 26 are all-inclusive schools.
With the support of the Global Partnership for Education and the World Bank, the
government has developed a policy to promote special needs and inclusive
education to give every child an equal chance to an education.
A number teachers, are picking interest in the subject and, underaided, we may
soon realize the goal of inclusivity.
Stigmatization has also reduced, now with many parents opting to seek help instead
of denying such children their right to education.

8. Influence of the Policy --- Cont’d
The leadership affirmative action policy at all levels remains a good motivation to
inspire the disadvantaged youngsters and now many schools a positioning them in
leadership positions at schools.
Some Schools are implementing it at the Governance Boards level too.

9. Remaining Challenges
While Government has been instrumental in promoting an inclusive education for all,
there remains critical challenges to address at all levels. Such include:
Access is limited, and retention and quality are negatively affected by constraints
ranging from a lack of physical capacity, infrastructure, and learning materials to
inadequate teacher capacity and negative attitudes and stigma.
Public financing for special needs education accounts for only 0.1% of the education
sector budget.
Most children with special needs are older than their classroom peers which tends to
increase stigma.
SNE teachers are very expensive which makes our liberalized education harder.
8/30/2022

10. Interventions
There is need for increased budgeting lines. And our government’s 0.1% level
remains a sort of mockery in this direction, at a time when World Bank is advising to
raise it to 16% from the 10%.
School facilities should be increased, and more funds into the SNE teachers to
enhance these learners’ education, given how they are generally expensive.
The recent emphasis on life and vocational training so that they can acquire
appropriate skills for their self sustainability is most likely to yield fruits if well funded.
Teacher-retooling should be implemented, and where possible teachers themselves
should invest in this self-retooling to match the visionary teacher required.
Sign Language Interpreters should be employed on a permanent and pensionable
basis.

Editor's Notes
This presentation shall look into the Special Needs Education policy of Uganda, highlight main goals and objectives, and examine its influence on school leadership and Teaching Practices in the Country
Other international commitments include:
The 2030 aspirational SGD4 enshrined in section Targets 5 and 4.a
The UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD) – 2006
And in September 2017 United Nations International Children’s Emergency Fund (UNICEF) has provided a guidance to governments on what whould be done.
About 16% of Ugandan children have a disability, this suggests that most children with disabilities are not able to attend school and that learners with special needs fail to transition from one educational level to another. Only 5 percent of children with disabilities can access education through Inclusive Schools and 10% through special schools (UNICEF, 2014).
Provision j of Part II, Section 5 provides for at least 10% of budgetary allocation at all educational levels.
-UMI, for example, called it Management of Special Needs Education in MEAHD
-In schools practicing SNE, pupils with mild disabilities attend ordinary schools and participate in all school activities with the rest of the learners. However there are special schools where learners with severe physical and learning disabilities receive specialized attention.
-. Learners with barriers (special needs) arising from disability conditions usually require Specialized support services (e.g. Sign language interpreters, Braille transcribers etc.); Specialized teaching methods; Access to resource rooms and use of specialized technology to access curriculum.
Through a collaboration with UNICEF, 1,554 students from 296 primary schools in 79 districts across Uganda have been fitted with hearing devices by the Starkey Foundation.
