This study focused on access and enrollment of children with disabilities in ten pilot
inclusive schools in the Bole District in the Northern Region of Ghana. The
population for the study consisted of all teachers teaching in the selected inclusive
schools. The purposive sampling technique was used in selecting the ten schools
practicing the inclusive education whose teachers were the target for the study. A
Likert scale type questionnaire was used to collect data for the study. The data
collected were analysed using descriptive statistical methods such as frequency counts
and percentages. The results of the study revealed that majority of the respondents
agreed that pilot inclusive school is a good educational practice, which helps children
with disabilities to access education within the community, learn the culture and
interact with the environment. It was also found that the schools have adapted
instructional strategies for children with special needs to learn, teachers negative
attitudes and practices toward children with disabilities affected their enrolment in
school and some educational policies and reforms allows children with disabilities to
enroll and complete education. It was proposed that regular education teachers need
in-service training in special needs education so that they can be effective in inclusive
schools. |
