PART 1 THE COMMISSION’S REPORT ON THE RIGHT TO EDUCATION FOR CHILDREN WITH LEARNING DISABILITIES – FOCUSING ON PRIMARY EDUCATION for the individual, and in environments which maximize academic and social development. 42. It is explicit that when the Government acceded to the CRC and ratified the CRPD, it is committed to take all necessary measures to ensure that the rights therein are realised. To ensure equal access to education for all children with disabilities, the Government must take the following actions to fulfil, respect and protect their right education: a. To fulfil the right to education, by ensuring that quality education is available for all children, promoting inclusive education, and introducing positive measures to enable children to benefit from it, such as by making physical adaptations to buildings, providing accessible transport, adapting the curricula to the needs of all children, and providing necessary equipment and resources. b. To respect the right to education, by avoiding any action that would prevent children from accessing education, such as legislation that categorises certain groups of children with disabilities as uneducable, or school entry testing systems that categorise children with disabilities as not being ready for school. c. To protect the right to education, by taking the necessary measures to remove the barriers to education posed by individuals or communities, such as resistance by teachers to accepting children with disabilities. 43. The next Chapter explores in greater detail the challenges faced by CWLD and measures adopted by the Government to fulfil its obligations in fulfilling, respecting and protecting the right to education for children with disabilities, including CWLD. 17
