Note: Flag next to a link shows what language the website is in. This is sometimes obvious by what country the link is for or the fact that the title is in English. If I feel it may be ambiguous, I have tried to clarify by using a flag. This is done so that people can read sites in the language of their choice.

Gentle, F. (2006, May 11). Training for inclusive education, Papua New Guinea. The majority of the population lives in rural areas. This regional isolation has ensured the retention of the culture, language and customs of over 700 distinct indigenous tribes and clans. The PNG government is committed to inclusive education. It has embodied inclusive philosophy in its Special Education Ministerial Policy Statement (1994) and the Department of Education's National Special Education Plan 2004�08. The government is also a signatory to UNESCO's global mandate of Education for All by 2015. Inclusive education priorities include capacity building through pre-service and post-service special education teacher training.
