This book thus explores the role of African epistemologies in addressing the myriad challenges posed by the inclusive education system in Africa and other contexts. In recent years, the shift from special education to inclusive education has had a significant impact on the provision of education and the education system as a whole in Africa. The impact has been felt in all institutions of learning from low to high, public and private, government, and across departments of education. Inclusive education, if shaped correctly by using African epistemologies, would empower learners to attain the relevant skills, knowledge, values, and attitudes for their own intellectual growth and personal development. Mbulaheni Obert Maguvhe is Professor of Inclusive Education at the University of South Africa. He has published a number of peer reviewed articles and books in his field and is an active member of several national and international Disability organisations. Mfundo Mandla Masuku is Senior Lecturer in the School of Development Studies at University of Mpumalanga, South Africa. He has published a number of papers on food security, Local Economic Development, governance and the scholarship of teaching and learning.
