ADVANCING RIGHTS FOR ALL

Education for learners with disabilities: Education departments are not taking their constitutional obligations and legal mandates seriously. Should you have questions, please contact the WCFID Advocacy Manager: advocacy@wcfid.co.za

ADVANCING THE RIGHT TO EDUCATION

The Constitution of the Republic of South Africa, 1996 states that everyone has a right to a basic education. In spite of this provision, we continue to fail children with disabilities.
