Ramjan Ali, covers many aspects of a range of methods to ensure that everyone can still get the education they have the right to. These methods apply to learners, teachers, parents, and care-givers.

* NEW * Inclusive Education Training Guide from CBM
EENET has helped CBM to develop an inclusive education training guide – for CBM staff, partners and other NGOs – that is based around a set of frequently asked questions. Facilitators can use these questions to help them select topics and activities to suit their trainees’ needs and interests. The activities can be used to create anything from a one-hour discussion at a staff meeting to a one-week workshop.
The guide consists of 5 booklets:
Introduction
A: Inclusive education and CBM
B: Inclusive education and the community
C: Participation and achievement for all learners
D: Education system change.
Each booklet contains background information on each question, activities, handouts, and case studies.
Download the training guide as an accessible PDF.
