This dynamic discussion marked a significant step toward creating a more inclusive and equitable education system for all Ghanaian learners.
Key takeaway was building a better future.
The session highlighted several vital areas for improvement such as inclusive educational materials by embedding inclusivity in traditional materials to cater to every child, regardless of ability.
It also touched on re-entry policy through supporting students, especially girls, who face educational disruptions.
Special needs devices thus government support for devices to empower students with disabilities.
It also focused on awareness creation by educating stakeholders about the existing inclusive education policy and teacher training through a consistent approach and support for teachers to implement inclusive education.
The call for government support to purchase special needs devices aims to enhance the learning experience for students with disabilities.
This aligns with the Inclusive Education Policy, which recognizes the varied learning needs of learners.
Teachers play a vital role in practicing and implementing inclusive education in classrooms.
Consistent teacher training and support are essential to ensure educators are equipped to provide inclusive education.
The National Gender Policy and the Education Strategic Plan 2018-2030 also demonstrate the government’s commitment to inclusive education.
