This programme of studies focuses on how educational institutions in general, and the classroom settings specifically, can become more inclusive to cater for different individual needs. The learners tackle a variety of study units aimed at identifying what barriers exist which may be preventing learners from accessing quality education. The study units also explore innovative techniques of how these barriers can be overcome so that all learners feel valued during compulsory schooling years. This course includes work placement opportunities held once every year aimed at observing good practices in different educational settings and developing a mindset of promoting inclusive communities that celebrate diversity and cater for the diverse needs of different groups of learners. The course subjects include child development, disability theories as well as different aspects of learning to allow learners to integrate learning for a cross curricular pedagogy.
