DANIDA Project

 

The Resource and Educator Development Programme: Building an Inclusive Education and Training System was the first national Inclusive Education Pilot Programme in South Africa. It was coordinated by the Department of Education and DANIDA (The Danish International Development Agency) between 2000 and 2003. 

The Final Report on the End-Term National Quality Evaluation (See full report below) provides valuable insights into what implementation of Inclusive Education would entail in the South African context - what are the challenges, what works and what we have learnt from the pilot programme. The Department of Education built the next phase of implementation in 2004 - 2009 on the findings of this pilot.

Good Practice Booklet 

At the end of the project conducted in Nort-West, Eastern Cape and KwaZulu Natal, the success stories were captured in a booklet with the title: Implementing Inclusive Education in South Africa: True Stories we Can Learn From.
