Towards Inclusive Education in Zimbabwe Perspectives and Practices

This book aims to provide a comprehensive review of the state of inclusive education in Zimbabwe since the adoption of the philosophy in 1994. While literature exists that accounts for the situation regarding special and inclusive education in Zimbabwe, there is a need for a more thorough and complete understanding of the state of inclusive education in the country. This book explores and reflects on the perspectives of various stakeholders within the Zimbabwean education system. It offers a conceptual understanding of the implementation of inclusive education in a postcolonial and politically troubled Zimbabwe and provides recommendations for policy development and formulation, as well as the development and strengthening of inclusive teaching and learning practices. The insights offered in this book could have a significant impact on clarifying the roles of stakeholders and ensuring that education provision leads to student support that addresses the needs of all students in Zimbabwe.
