De la retórica a la realidad: la educación inclusiva en Sudáfrica

Abstract

Inclusion has different meanings in every context, because it depends on ideological, political social and economic circumstances where it develops.The South African context offers a singular case of inclusion because it is linked to tha challenge of education for all that means overcoming years of apartheid. After a short description of the past and the present of education in South Africa, this issue analyses the way in which it is possible to translate the rethoric of inclusion into reality, pointing out seven main considerations: 1) definition of inclusive education; 2) legitimacy of inclusive education; 3) possible implications for teaching practices: 4) possible implications for special schools; 5) teacher training; 6) pedagogical practices and 7) legislation
