The post-apartheid era saw the South African government introduce a range of policies for building an inclusive education system. Inclusive Education in South African Further and Higher Education provides a historical overview of the evolution of inclusive education, alongside the emergence of concepts such as of equity and access, highlighting how these ideas have evolved, been enacted and practiced in the higher education institutions (HEIs) of South Africa since 2001.
Highlighting the barriers encountered in striving for inclusion in higher education in South Africa, chapter authors explore the significance of curriculum for inclusion and unpack the strategies of support and assessment in higher education. The critical aspects of inclusion and exclusion in higher education such as gender, language, technology and leadership are discussed and their impact on access, equity and inclusion is unmasked. Importantly, within this work is the principal and recognition of Indigenous and afro-centric knowledge in this space, how it is recognised and valued, and the manner in which it can be brought to the fore in decolonising the curriculum.
Whilst focusing on the South African context, the theoretical and methodological approach adds to the international understanding of access, equity and inclusion in higher education and provides important insights for policymakers, scholars, students and researchers in inclusive education and higher education globally.

Educational institutions within the post-soviet independent states of Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan have seen dramatic changes and educational reforms since their independence. Rapid technological changes, economic globalization, and increased migration and mobility of students have led Central Asian states to reform their education systems, within both secondary schools and higher education institutions such as universities. As a result, there is an increasing emphasis on redefining and reconceptualizing the role of leadership to better facilitate and lead the reform process.
Providing a research-based account on the educational reforms taking place in these countries, Redefining Educational Leadership in Central Asia brings together the voices, views, experiences, and reflections of educational leaders from both secondary schools and higher education institutions in Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan. The chapters provide useful insights into the fundamental educational reforms shaping school leadership in Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan, educational leadership policies and practices, the myths and realities of school development planning and university leaders’ performance in the higher education system of Kyrgyzstan.
This is a new and unique perspective on educational leadership and the first of its kind to focus on Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan from a non-western perspective. Policymakers, researchers, graduate students, and practitioners will be able to draw from the strategic visions offered while reviewing and revisiting leadership policies and practices in the climate of rapid changes and heightened expectations from these leaders.

This book aims to provide a comprehensive review of the state of inclusive education in Zimbabwe since the adoption of the philosophy in 1994. While literature exists that accounts for the situation regarding special and inclusive education in Zimbabwe, there is a need for a more thorough and complete understanding of the state of inclusive education in the country. This book explores and reflects on the perspectives of various stakeholders within the Zimbabwean education system. It offers a conceptual understanding of the implementation of inclusive education in a postcolonial and politically troubled Zimbabwe and provides recommendations for policy development and formulation, as well as the development and strengthening of inclusive teaching and learning practices. The insights offered in this book could have a significant impact on clarifying the roles of stakeholders and ensuring that education provision leads to student support that addresses the needs of all students in Zimbabwe.
