Learning environments

The main aim of the initiative is to create safe and inclusive spaces, especially for those who are suppressed in the community, i.e. women, transgender people, the LGBTQ community and gifted people, especially those in remote and underprivileged communities. In addition, it aims to provide quality education in these spaces, with a focus on open dialogues around taboo topics to erase the stigma around them. Finally, it aims to ensure access to clean and renewable energy, along with clean water for sanitation.

There is an on-going need for inclusion of children with disabilities in mainstream kindergarten programmes. A large number of included children with disabilities are in mainstream programmes; the third year of providing training in the Centre of Excellence (85 attendants – speech and language therapists, psychologists, educational rehabilitators, pedagogues, kindergarten teachers). 

The policy vision, aims and objectives frame quality education in the context of inclusive education. Both quality and inclusion work together to create learning environments that enhance the learning and life opportunities for each student.

A key objective is to enhance the quality of the learning experience for each student in each class, but also to address the contextualised learning opportunities that can result in two teachers working in the same classroom at the same time.
