Project Summary

Project CLEMA aims to introduce the first profession in Vietnam to focus on Inclusive Education. In collaboration with Hanoi National University of Education and 3 National Colleges of Education, CLEMA will develop eight pioneering study programmes aimed at educating ‘Education Support Workers for Persons with Disabilities’. The Education Support Workers will support Inclusive Education by providing guidance, knowledge and teaching aids to pre- and general schools, special schools, communities and families. In doing so, the Education Support Workers will be targeting educational inequality directly while simultaneously supporting the overall transformation of the national school system into inclusive educational settings. Inclusive Education improves learning and (re)habilitation for all children involved, effectively linking Inclusive Education to overall educational quality. Inclusive learning settings promote ‘belonging’, ‘mastery’, ‘independence’ and ‘generosity’ as well as participation in society. The approaches of inclusion and habilitation are main issues in UN’s Convention of Rights for Persons with Disabilities (from 2006), which has been ratified by Vietnam, and, therefore, it becomes justified to include related issues such as poverty, ethnicity, stigmatization and discrimination in a more holistic multi-dimensional view of disability. Based on the multi-dimensional view of disability, Education Support Workers will have a direct impact on the highest priority in the National Poverty Reduction Strategy 2011-2020 which is to narrow the inequality gap between urban and rural areas, among regions, ethnic minorities and population groups. Educatiion Support Workers will strive to meet the national goal of providing education for 70% of children with disabilities by 2020.
