The History of Inclusive Education in South Africa | The Journey Toward Learning for Everyone

In this video, we take a journey through the history of inclusive education — from segregation and exclusion, to integration, and finally toward true inclusion. We explore how education systems have changed over time, the key global and South African milestones that shaped inclusive education, and why inclusion is about more than just being in the same classroom — it’s about belonging, support, and valuing diversity. With a focus on South Africa’s journey, this video highlights progress made, challenges that remain, and why inclusive education is an ongoing movement, not a finished goal. Remember: Belonging starts with us. SIAS: https://www.education.gov.za/Portals/0/Doc... SASA: https://www.education.gov.za/LinkClick.asp...
