Abstract

Background: Zambia, like any other country that is concerned with the rights to education of all learners, has prioritized inclusive education. Inclusive education is a fundamental right recognized by national and international policies. For example, Article 69 of the United Nations (2016) General Comment CRPD/C/GC/4 stresses the need for inclusive teacher education across all educational levels. In this context, our study investigated secondary school science teachers’ sources of knowledge about inclusion and explored the lived experiences of learners with special education needs in an inclusive setup in Kitwe district, Zambia. Specifically, the study explored secondary school science teachers’ sources of knowledge about inclusion and the lived experiences of some learners with Special Education Needs (SEN) in expanding their capabilities in an inclusive setup in Kitwe district, Zambia.
