Teacher training for equal opportunities for children

On March 30 and 31, as part of its Strategic Plan, Sibusiso trained 62 teachers from 45 schools in inclusive early education for children with developmental challenges. This represents a significant step toward better and earlier identification of children with disabilities, inclusive classrooms, and equal opportunities for every child. For many teachers, this was their first introduction to inclusive education. Through the Teachers First Training, we strengthen knowledge, practice, and collaboration—ensuring that no child is left behind. As a next step, Sibusiso supports schools with tools for monitoring and referring children, allowing us to strengthen structural support within the community.
