Abstract

This case study examines education provision for students with disabilities and additional learning needs (DALN) in a ‘model’ inclusive primary school in Papua New Guinea. It is based on classroom observation and semi-structured interviews with selected teachers. It analyses the pedagogical practices of the teachers, their inclusivity, and the variables shaping them. It was found the teachers struggled to meet the needs of students with DALN, particularly deaf learners, due to multi-level constraints. In the light of the findings, strategies for promoting inclusive education within the country are discussed.
