Towards Inclusion: SCF UK's Experience in Integrated Education

 

Preface

In April 1994 Save the Children Fund (SCF) personnel and partners, working in various sectors in the field of disability, came together at the SCF Global Seminar on Disability. This was the first time most of them had been able to share experiences and learn directly from each other. SCF's disability work spans all sectors, but there has been a significant increase in the education sector in recent years. Educational programmes now exist in Asia and Southern Africa.

The small group of people working in integrated education for children with special needs felt the time was right to document their experiences and try to produce a working paper which could guide non-specialists through the process of assessing and initiating programmes in this field and contribute to discussions on policy.

In May 1995 a workshop was convened in Vientiane in Laos and the group worked together to produce this paper. The group was joined by three SCF colleagues from South Asia with a background in the Community Based Rehabilition (CBR) which helped the group to broaden their thinking.

Contributions to this paper were made by the following people:

Henny Heyer: Relief and Rehabilitation Officer (Sri Lanka)
Janet Holdsworth: IE Adviser (China and Lao PDR)
Hazel Jones: Special and Integrated Education Adviser (Vietnam)
John Kay: Primary Education Adviser (Lao PDR)
Douglas Lackey: Head of Regional Office (SE Asia and Pacific)
Watthana Manoroth: Pre-school Project Manager (Lao PDR)
Lilian Maringa: IE Adviser (Lesotho)
Richard Mawer: Field Director (Uganda - previously Thailand)
Deepika Nair: Head of Technical Support Services (India)
Theerawong Sae Fung: IE Project Coordinator (Thailand)
Visiene Sayasensouk: Primary Education Programme Officer (Lao PDR)
Sue Stubbs: Disability Adviser PDU (London)
Tran Thi Nhieu: Disability Project Officer (Vietnam)
Neetha Wannipura: Disability Project Officer (Sri Lanka)

Editors: Janet Holdsworth and John Kay
