Item Open Access Dilemma in Inclusive Education: How Amre Challenged the Policy of Proportions of Students With and Without Disabilities in an Inclusive Education Center(Nazarbayev University Graduate School of Education, 2018-12) Rollan, KamilaThis case study highlights a teacher’s struggle to include a student with autism spectrum disorder into a classroom, where there is already a maximum number of students with special educational needs compliant to the principle of the natural proportions. This study provides a narrative of an ethical dilemma faced in the realization of the educational inclusion of a child with special needs. The case raises the following question: where is the line between adhering to the principles of the natural proportions and excluding a student? This qualitative narrative study facilitates a critical reflection of the dilemma in the inclusive educational leadership, when difficult decisions need to be made.Item Open Access Inclusive Education in Post-Soviet Countries: a Case of Kazakhstan(Nazarbayev University Graduate School of Education, 2018-12) Makoelle, Tsediso MichaelInclusive education has become a focal point internationally (Ainscow, Dyson & Weiner, 2013). In many contexts the implementation of inclusive education is characterized by contradictions, controversies, dilemmas and anomalies (Makoelle, 2014a; Slee, 2018). The fact that inclusive education came as a critique of special education raises a lot of questions as some tend to attribute it solely to education of students with disability and special needs, while in essence it focuses on a wide spectrum of diversity such as gender, race, ethnicity, and socio-economic status (Makoelle, 2016). The emphasis on disability and special needs create a framework of thinking imbued with an extreme inclination to believe that inclusion is only about disability. The fact that there are different ways in which the notion of inclusion is conceptualized means it is enacted through different practices and policy perspectives. Whoever goes through the process of enacting inclusion, experiences it differently depending on unique situation and context (Makoelle, 2014b)...Item Open Access A Qualitative Study of Parental Perceptions of Inclusive Education in Kazakhstan: The View of Three(Nazarbayev University Graduate School of Education, 2018-12) Khamidulina, ZarinaKazakhstan is presently undergoing a number of developments in the education system.

The results of this study make important revelations about the parental understandings of the policy, their attitudes and possible challenges schools face when implementing the inclusive education practices...Item Open Access Special Issue: Inclusive Education in Kazakhstan(Nazarbayev University Graduate School of Education, 2018-12)NUGSE Research in Education is a peer-reviewed journal designed for educational leaders, policy makers, researchers and students interested in empirical research, critical reviews, and analytical papers on a wide range of topics in education.
