Is Inclusion Working for Physically Disabled Students? A Glance into Secondary Schools in Bondo Sub-County of Siaya County, Kenya

Disability is not inability! This has become a common phrase through which society uses to encourage persons with disabilities with different types of impairments on their potential for excellence. This has evidently been depicted in several occasions where some students have shown remarkable achievement in both primary and secondary certificate examinations. Secondary school education is extremely important and key for personal growth and career development of those with various forms of impairment. This book explores the importance of inclusive education for physically disabled students. While the author is keen on acknowledging the need to create inclusive classrooms, he points out major challenges hindering inclusivity and these ranges from; negative attitudes by fellow students and teachers, poor infrastructure, lack of resources and facilities to poor socio-economic backgrounds. Dr Masakhwe, therefore, seeks to address each student’s learning needs through reduction of these barriers and eliminating discrimination of Physically Disabled students that often obstruct them from full participation within the secondary school environment. The book is quite resourceful for all educationists and more so to curriculum developers and implementors.
