Private School which is an international model for inclusive education.
Eduplex is a mainstream school that follows a unique model of
inclusion. At the school, an average of four learners with hearing loss is
included in every classroom, where they learn alongside their hearing friends
without sign language. Learners with hearing loss and language barriers receive
the opportunity to acquire spoken language through the maximum use of
amplification technology, parent guidance and individualised support. The
holistic approach to education allows learners to be successfully included in
school and in society. Inclusion gives them independence, confidence, the right
to privacy and future job mobility.
