THE National Early Childhood Intervention Council (NECIC) would like to respond to the letter “An inclusive education minefield” (The Star, July 29) by Jerrica Fatima Ann who suggested putting away “the roadmap to inclusive education until the state and civil society awaken to their responsibility.” We would like to highlight constructive and workable solutions that can be implemented now as our children cannot wait.
We are sharing the experience of children (names changed to protect their privacy) here to show that inclusion is possible with caring teachers who are flexible. There are many similar cases happening in the country as well.
