Inclusive Education Policy in Kenya Silas Onyango

This is a work project in special education. The project is all about challenges facing the implementation of inclusive education policy in Rarieda sub-county in Siaya Kenya. The Kenyan government has been formulating very good policies on inclusive education but their implementation has not been forth coming. The purpose of this work was therefore to determine some possible factors that hinders the implementation of such policies and what can be done to respond to such challenges. The key respondents were head teachers of public primary schools who I believed were in a better position to understand such challenges. the main data collection instruments was interviews and the approach was purely qualitative. Results indicated that stigmatization and attitude, lack of training to key stakeholders, lack of enough resources, curriculum and policy issues are some of the challenges facing the implementation of inclusive education policy.
