Diversity, Inclusion & Intersectionality

What's this section about?

Inclusive education ensures that every learner regardless of ability, gender, or background has equal opportunities to learn, participate, and thrive. In The Gambia, barriers such as inaccessible facilities, social stigma, and poverty still prevent many children especially those with disabilities or from rural areas from enjoying their right to quality education. This section helps learners appreciate diversity, understand the concept of intersectionality, and promote inclusion within their schools and communities. It reinforces national and global commitments, including The Gambia Persons with Disabilities Act (2021), Education Policy (2016–2030), and the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD).
