While the Ministry of Education discusses its inclusive education project and equal opportunities, a question arises that raises many concerns.
Two years ago, the Ministry transferred visually impaired female teachers from the Abdullah bin Umm Maktoum School for the Blind, located near their homes, to other schools for sighted students. The justification given was a surplus of teachers and the need to implement the inclusive education system. The teachers claim they were to be replaced by sighted teachers in the same schools and specializations.
But was this decision a genuine application of the inclusive education concept?
And were the schools to which they were transferred truly equipped to enable them to fulfill their educational mission?
