INDONESIA THROUGH EDUCATION STRATEGY
Connie Chairunnisa, Connie
The fostering of inclusive schools in Indonesia has
yet to be considered optimal in helping children with special
needs in reaching a better future. Various reasons have been
stated by schools that are designated as inclusive schools. In
Jakarta, there are 164 inclusive schools spread over five
regions. Complaints thrown by schools that were studied in
this research include inadequate facilities and infrastructure,
human resources that are unable to fulfill requirements, lack
of a dedicated supervising teacher, low public participation
number from children with special needs, and understanding
and attitude from parents and the public which were not
conducive towards children with special needs. These are
phenomenal challenges.
From various perspectives of inclusive schools, there are
problems that indicate the challenges which can hamper the
execution of inclusive education in Indonesia. The focuses of
this research are the management of inclusive schools, the
learning process, education strategy, the profile of inclusive
students, and background of parents of children with special
needs.
