This edited volume explores various issues pertaining to the
education of children with disabilities in Africa, the Caribbean
and Middle East. As a group, persons with disabilities have been
subjected to social, cultural and educational exclusions of various
forms and for various socially-scripted reasons. In education, for
instance, individuals with disabilities have been altogether
excluded from educational participation in many parts of the
developing world or they have been excluded from pursuing
meaningfully beneficial higher levels of education in developed
countries like the United States. One of the social
responses/remedies to the widely-acknowledged exclusionary
practices experienced by learners with disabilities has been the
widespread implementation of inclusive practices in the education
of individuals with disabilities across countries, in the west and
the developing regions of the world. A distinctive marker of
difference in the way inclusive practices have been enacted in
western countries versus those in the developing world has
primarily stemmed from the fact that majority of western countries
operate under funded mandates that also regulate the provision of
education to persons with disabilities. While the ideal of
inclusion has been highly desirable, many of countries in the
developing world have floundered in their implementation due to
lack sound legislative framework to guide implementation coupled
with socio-cultural factors related to negative perceptions of
disabilities and limited funding sources. Chapters in this volume
explore inclusive education from a variety of perspectives.
