Background: Lack of support systems in the management of health and rehabilitation related problems, including the stigma of giving birth to a child with disability, results in some parents ignoring the doctor’s prognosis of lifelong disability.Objectives: The study was conducted in the Eastern Cape province (ECP) of South Africa (SA) on parents’ views in caring for children with disability in an area with minimal health facilities in a rural setting.Method: Data was collected using exploratory descriptive qualitative methods. A Xhosa-speaking researcher facilitated six focus group discussions and conducted one individual in-depth interview with 37 parents or caregivers of children with disability residing at Happy home. Only one father was interviewed. Thematic analysis was used in interpreting data obtained from interviews.Results: The findings revealed themes indicating key concerns of parents, which were as follows: challenges with disability diagnosis, negative attitudes of health professionals, health and rehabilitation related problems, and lack of support from families and community.Conclusion: Caring for children with disability in a rural setting where services are minimal or not available to the poorest people who mostly need such services is not easy. Thus, to respond appropriately to the health and support needs of children with disability, it is crucial to understand the social context and needs of their families and caregivers. Due to size of the study, findings cannot be generalised. Recommendations are made for further studies to explore the vital issues affecting parents of children with disabilities.

Vernacular culture is the root of Chinese culture, in essence, so the inheritance of vernacular culture is crucial. Rural teachers are the "rural talents" in rural areas and have been playing various roles as cultural inheritors, protectors and leaders. The cultural responsibilities of rural teachers in the new era face many difficulties: the lack of vernacular cultural literacy of rural teachers, the "urban orientation" of rural education, the backward ideology of rural parents, and the lack of funds. Under the call of rural cultural revitalization, rural teachers should re-erect the banner of cultural inheritance and contribute to rural cultural revitalization by focusing on cultivating rural teachers' local cultural literacy, developing school-based cultural curriculum and compiling local teaching materials, collaborating with village schools and making use of the Internet to promote the inheritance and development of vernacular culture.

Parent Involvement In Education

Eighty-nine teachers and fifty-nine active members of parent organizations associated with the teachers' schools were surveyed regarding their perceptions of significant issues in education. Issues were rated as high, medium or low priority and then rank-ordered separately for parents and teachers. Overall ranking for the two groups differed significantly. Ratings of issues bearing upon parent involvement in education and employment opportunities for students were more highly rated by parents than teachers. When ratings of most curriculum-related issues were compared for the two groups they were not found to differ significantly. The results were interpreted to reflect broad social role differences between parents and teachers as well as local community characteristics. Some implications for fostering parent participation in curriculum development were outlined.

Economy System

A rural student with behavior disorders consistently engaged in numerous aggressive behaviors while in a special education classroom. Attempts at reducing these aggressive acts using a token economy system were not effective. An intervention whereby the student's parents called a phone number connected to a phone answering machine was implemented. Every evening, the parents called the special number and heard a brief report concerning the student's behavior. The parents then applied an agreed-upon contingency in the home. Results of this study revealed that the phone intervention approach was an effective way of altering the student's behavior. Advantages and possible disadvantages of this approach are discussed.
