Gauteng Education looks to expand inclusive education at mainstream schools

For many families of learners with special needs, finding the right school and securing the necessary support can be a difficult journey.

The Gauteng Department of Education is now looking to expand inclusive education in mainstream schools, aiming to give more learners access to education closer to home.

Education MEC, Lebogang Maile, says the focus will be on creating spaces for learners with mild, and moderate intellectual disabilities, while easing pressure on the province's limited specialised schools.
