Abstract

The chapter explores the African extended family system which is an integral part of the Ubuntu philosophy. The authors explain the concept of inclusive education for persons with disabilities and lastly examine how the extended family system can be used within the framework of the African Ubuntu philosophy to promote the inclusion of persons with disabilities in society. They argue that the failure by the current African school curriculum to contextualize, acculturate, and localize the concept of inclusive education emanates from the lost values of the African Ubuntu philosophy.
