Abstract

This chapter presents the evolution and current state of inclusive education in Ghana. Despite the existence of the 2015 policy and the Education Strategic Plan (2018-2030), exclusions persist. The chapter highlights the critical role of community engagement, government commitment, and digital technology in fostering inclusive education. Community and family involvement, government initiatives, and funding sustain inclusive practices, as does the integration of digital technology. It emphasises a comprehensive approach, including enhanced funding, teacher training, societal attitude shifts, and effective monitoring systems. The role of stigma, infrastructure, and policy implementation are deliberated. The chapter advocates for a multi-dimensional approach, combining policy support, community involvement, and technological integration to advance the sector. Recommendations include increasing funding, improving teacher training, and promoting inclusion for Ghana to advance towards a more inclusive and equitable education system among its contemporaries.
