Capacity building: teachers and staff
We will make the community understand that Inclusive education is the basic right of children with Developmental disabilities and is a core value to be part of society. Help to set guidelines for inclusive education by raising awareness that we should give equal value to pupils and teachers, Increase pupils’ participation; promote change in the educational policies and in the school practices to fit pupils’ diversities; reduce obstacles to learning rather than taking it as problems to be fixed; and disseminate documents and knowledge concerning the existing inclusive practices
