The Including Disability in Education in Africa (IDEA) Research Unit at the University of Cape Town has evolved from the university’s TEDI (Teacher Empowerment for Disability Inclusion) project which was created in response to a call to address the exclusion and poor-quality education of children with disabilities in South Africa. The primary objective of the Unit is to act as a hub for future research in inclusive education in Africa and beyond, to promote networking and to carry out training within this field. It is envisaged that the Unit will be a catalyst to further ideas and knowledge as well as promote and strengthen the area of inclusive education locally, nationally, regionally, and globally.
