| dc.description.abstract | The exclusion of a significant number of students with disabilities from quality education in Ghana raises a crucial question: does Ghana have adequate laws or policies to guarantee persons with disabilities (PWDs) rights, particularly equitable access to education? Beyond this is the further question of whether Ghana has effectively implemented its laws and policies on inclusive education. This paper undertakes a comprehensive review and critical analysis of Ghana’s laws and policies safeguarding the educational rights of students with disabilities, an issue of immediate and pressing concern. It asks: should Ghana’s laws and policies be reformed in order to better promote inclusive education? And if so, what reforms are required? | |
