The Pacific RISE team is working alongside the Ministry of Education and Training in Vanuatu, supported by three University of Newcastle's in-country PhD students. The project involves assessing the local community's views of how inclusive education should develop, and ways in which community, schools and students attitudes affect this development.
​
The PhD topics are:
Attitudes of Ni-Vanuatu towards inclusive education in the 6 provincial inclusive model schools.
Student and teacher perceptions of struggling learners. (the picture below goes alongside this one).
Career development for students with disabilities.
