What is it about?
This study examines the influence of foreign aid and local ownership in the introduction of inclusive education in Kiribati. The results indicate that a positive commitment towards inclusive education is emerging and that Australian Aid provided essential advocacy for children with disabilities in Kiribati . Inclusive education initiatives remain dependent on Australian Aid for direction and sustainability.

Why is it important?

Perspectives
