商品描述

This book contributes to the discourse on disability in Africa as an issue of systemic exclusion characterized by the discrimination and often complete segregation of persons with disabilities (PWDs) in various African countries. Despite the inclusive promise of the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD) as well as the Protocol to the African Charter on Human and Peoples' Rights on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities in Africa, the situation has not actually improved for PWDs in Africa. Given the powerful evidence of the devaluation of PWDs in connection with the COVID-19 pandemic, it is high time to reflect on the experiences of persons with disabilities in education, along with other forms of discrimination they encounter. The book's respective chapters assess how well the existing legal frameworks, policies and practices in most African countries have met the needs for inclusion of children and adults with disabilities.

The social and economic rights of persons with disabilities are protected in the constitutions of most countries and enshrined in the normative frameworks that most African leaders have adopted and ratified. These commitments need to be borne in mind when thinking about the present and the future. Inclusive development is an investment and must be viewed as part of a package of reforms that are connected to substantive social protection and improvements in realizing other socio-economic goods. Indeed, a range of alliances are needed to advance the goals of 'leaving no one behind', ensuring 'education for all', and delivering on the African Union's call for the development of policies, programmes and requisite budgets for the realization of inclusive education for persons with disabilities.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

本書對於非洲的殘障議題進行了深入探討，將其視為一種系統性排斥的問題，特徵是對殘障人士（PWDs）的歧視以及在多個非洲國家的完全隔離。儘管《殘障人士權利公約》（CRPD）以及《非洲人權與人民權利憲章關於殘障人士權利的議定書》對包容性發展做出了承諾，但實際上，非洲的殘障人士情況並未改善。考慮到與COVID-19疫情相關的殘障人士貶值的有力證據，現在正是反思殘障人士在教育中經歷的時刻，以及他們所面臨的其他形式的歧視。本書各章節評估了大多數非洲國家的現有法律框架、政策和實踐在滿足殘障兒童和成人的包容需求方面的成效。

殘障人士的社會和經濟權利在大多數國家的憲法中受到保護，並體現在大多數非洲領導人所採納和批准的規範性框架中。在思考當前和未來時，這些承諾需要被銘記。包容性發展是一項投資，必須被視為與實質社會保障和實現其他社會經濟利益相關的改革方案的一部分。確實，需要一系列的聯盟來推進「不讓任何人掉隊」的目標，確保「人人受教育」，並響應非洲聯盟對於制定政策、計劃及所需預算以實現殘障人士包容性教育的呼籲。
