CHAPTER 6: Contextualizing Inclusive Education In Tanzania

This chapter, drawn from an ongoing participatory action research project on developing an index for inclusion, presents the current state of education provision for disabled students and attempts to contextualize inclusive education in Tanzania. The first two years of this project were funded by the Department for International Development (DfID), as part of a five-year research program consortium on implementing education quality in low income countries (EdQual). The literature review and emerging findings of the project suggest that there has been significant progress towards including all; however, the march towards inclusive education and inclusion remains far from being completed.
