Hi everybody, marvellous idea to have this open discussion. I am from Mauritius where the educational system is elitist. Every year there are so many drops out and a high percentage of children come out of school illiterate. This system exclude all children with disabilities or slow learners. The curriculum remain rigid and inclusion of disabled children is done with great difficulty. I am in charge of The Early Intervention Service and School Inclusion in Mauritius. I work for a non governmental organisation which caters for children with mental disabilities. I have just attended the Salamanca Congress on Right of Education for disabled persons. 15 years after the Salamanca Declaration a Global Report on Inclusive Education was presented.
Mauritius is always ready to sign and ratify conventions. As far as implementation is concerned there is a lack of training with incompetent officers who are not ready for change in mind set.
So far that Convention will remain at a stage of signing and ratifying only countries will keep on being present to sign and zero implementation.
Today The CPE (Certificate of Primary Education) results have been proclaimed. Only children who get best results will be considered to have admission in best secondary schools. How can a system sanction children at 11 years old where in schools there is automatic promotion. If this is not discrimination so what is it?
