Specialpedagogik i en annorlunda miljö : En studie om en handikappskola i en av Kairos sopstäder
(2005)Education
- Abstract
- In one of six garbage collectors area in Cairo, Esbet el Nakhl, there's a handicap school run by the Coptic church. We chose to study this school using observations and interviews. The purpose of our thesis has been to describe the school, the goals of the education and the educational forms. The questions we asked our selves before the trip to Cairo were; how does the school look like? What's a garbage collectors area? How do the teachers educate the children? How's the situation for the handicapped children?
We spent six days of observations and interviews at the school gathering information for the thesis. We used observations and interviews since we think these two methods complement each other.

The special education for handicapped children is not yet common in Egypt and this is a reason why this school is so unique. The schools' goal is to make the children independent and to get them accepted in the Egyptian society. A problem at the school though was that the teachers they employed were'nt properly educated and when the school's finally educated them, they left for another school with a better salary. Another problem was the bad relationship between the teachers and the management at the school.
The handicap school is a fantastic opportunity for the children growing up in Esbet el Nakhl. The school is a place for them to feel accepted and respected and a chance to develop in combination of getting an education. Hopefully this will help to change the society's opinion of handicapped people in Egypt. (Less)
