| description | Inclusive education in South Africa was one of the first steps taken to fight for equality and human rights after apartheid. With inclusive education, schools became less separated and more integrated, to make sure all kids, including those with disabilities, have the same opportunities to learn. This paper explored the prospects of implementing inclusive education within Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) colleges in the OR Tambo Inland District of South Africa. This paper used a qualitative approach, where interviews were used to collect data from five managers of TVET colleges. The field data found that a few problems stopped inclusive education from being implemented in the five TVET colleges. The lack of infrastructure was the main challenge for implementing inclusive education in the TVET colleges. It is recommended that investments should be made in both the physical infrastructure and the human infrastructure to ensure that people with disabilities have access to quality education and training. This should include providing access to assistive technology and other forms of support and resources to ensure people with a disability have the necessary skills and knowledge to pursue their chosen career paths. Finally, it is important to create an inclusive environment that supports people with disabilities. This study adds to the growing literature on enforcing inclusive education particularly those with disabilities, in vocational education settings. |
