Disabled children face barriers each day
Children with disabilities experience barriers in their everyday lives.
While they do not need separate or special education, they require a more flexible education system, adviser for basic education, child rights and social inclusion Els Heijnen said.
She was speaking at the sixth annual Disability Rights conference hosted by the University of Pretoria’s Centre for Human Rights at the St George Hotel and Conference Centre.
The two-day conference was held under the theme “Inclusive Education for Children with Disabilities”.
It was attended by members of civil society, academics, policy makers, disability rights holders, NGOs, decision makers, education policy makers, academic institutions and government officials.
