| Purpose: Access to basic education lies not only at the heart of the Department of Education but as well as in the ways education is delivered to its recipients (learners). Lack of educational access has a detrimental effect on knowledge and skills. On the other hand, sustained meaningful learning has that value and is of cardinal importance to long term improvements in life in general.
This module strives to ensure that the teacher becomes aware of all learner variables, environmental variables and the wide mix of their interaction. The teacher should therefore be aware of the effective strategies for inclusion as well as resources available for the teaching and learning encounter, learner variables, treatment of curriculum content, use of space, handling of time, grouping of students, balance of activities and assessment matters and the provision of materials in accessible formats and the structure, content and quality of interactions and interventions between the teacher and the learner. Thus, the purpose of the whole effort is to contextualize learning for all in light of an inclusive scenario which does not disadvantage any learner, on grounds of his or her disability.
