Nation states across Africa have signed up to these protocols and remain committed to ensuring education for all children. The progress globally however in the past 25 years, including in Africa, has been slow (UNESCO, 2015). Questions remain on why this is so and what can be done about it. This book brings together researchers, education policy makers and academics from the African community. What is unique about this text is that it includes local insights narrated and critiqued by local professionals. This book presents a wide range of African countries across the continent, to provide a critical overview of the key issues affecting developments. It questions the origins of ideas and definitions around inclusive education and the impact it has made on policy and ultimately practice, within local socio-cultural and economic communities, both urban and rural. It highlights positive developments as well as challenges and provides a deep understanding of why the process of implementing inclusive education is so complex in the African continent. It provides an understanding of what is needed to develop a more sustainable model of inclusive education across the continent and within specific countries. 410 0$aStudies in inclusive education ;$v40. 606 $aInclusive education$zAfrica 606 $aInclusive education$xGovernment policy$zAfrica 606 $aEducation and state$zAfrica 615 0$aInclusive education 615 0$aInclusive education$xGovernment policy 615 0$aEducation and state 676 $a371.9/046096 702 $aPather$b Sulochini 702 $aSlee$b Roger 801 0$bNL-LeKB 801 1$bNL-LeKB 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910793340103321 996 $aChallenging inclusive education policy and practice in Africa$93807419 997 $aUNINA
