Namibia is home to a diverse population in terms of race, ethnicity, socio-cultural status, culture, language, religion, abilities, and tradition. Before independence, race was the main variable in determining the quality of education one would receive. Upon independence, Namibians where determined to do away with all forms of inequality in education by adopting the Education for All philosophy. Namibia is signatory to various international conventions including the Convention on the Rights of the Child and the Salamanca Declaration. The findings suggest that, even though school principals and teachers seemingly support inclusion, it could be deduced that they either have a limited understanding and far-fetched understanding of what inclusive education really means.

The demand for mainstream South African schools to adopt inclusive education research recommendations is rising exponentially. The COVID-19 pandemic effects compound curriculum access difficulties for children with cerebral palsy. In addition, the COVID-19 virus emergence exposed longstanding home-schooling endangerments. As part of a larger study, this chapter is a sequel to a qualitative, descriptive multiple case study interviewing 15 teachers from three schools, three coordinators of the school-based support teams, and the district-based support team coordinators in Limpopo Province. The study drew from Bronfenbrenner's ecological systems, Piaget's cognitive development, and Vygotsky's sociocultural theories to investigate stakeholders' understanding of inclusive education. During the lockdown period, follow-up online interviews with the school-based support team (SBST) identified a continuous fragmentation of IE stakeholders' responsibilities. They recommended a community of practice (CoP) approach that advocated expediting the implementation of recommendations.

Inclusive education is education for all; it is a form of resistance to discriminatory treatment in education through the provision of effective education for all children. In inclusive schools, children with normal conditions will learn together with special needs children. Normal students in inclusive schools will learn to build sensitivity and develop their social intelligence, while students with special needs learn to build confidence and develop more of their abilities. This paper aims to analyze and map the cultural development in the implementation of inclusive education for children. The case chosen is an inclusive school in Bandung which implements inclusive education. This paper uses ethnographic of communication method by tracking communication patterns established from the interactions of actors in a community group, namely communication between normal students and special needs students in inclusive schools. Field data explain that the interaction process results in an inclusive culture that develops in schools. The results show that inclusive cultures built are giving opportunities and trust, helping spontaneously, reminding each other, respecting personalities, building discipline, developing tolerance, and carrying out all activities based on religious precepts. The culture built in an inclusive school produces harmony in the implementation of learning by accommodating the diverse needs of students.
