Abstract

This study examines dependency on Australian aid in the introduction of inclusive education initiatives in the Pacific Island nation of Kiribati through data analysis of documents and individual interview responses with key stakeholders from both the recipient and donor sides. The results indicate that the catalyst for inclusive education initiatives has been Australian aid highlighting a social justice issue, namely the exclusion of children with disabilities from school programs. Australian aid has shaped policy, funded inclusive education initiatives, and directly managed the programs through the externally controlled Kiribati Education Facility. The long-term sustainability of inclusive education initiatives is uncertain if Australian aid priorities change and funding is withdrawn.

对澳大利亚援助的依赖以及在基里巴斯推行包容性教育倡议

这项研究通过对文件的数据分析和对受援方和捐助方主要利益攸关方的个人访谈回应，考察了在太平洋岛国基里巴斯推行包容性教育举措时对澳大利亚援助的依赖性。研究结果表明，包容性教育倡议的催化剂是澳大利亚的援助，突出了一个社会正义问题，即将残疾儿童排除在学校项目之外。澳大利亚的援助制定了政策，资助了包容性教育倡议，并通过外部控制的基里巴斯教育基金直接管理这些项目。如果澳大利亚的援助重点发生变化，资金被撤回，那么包容性教育举措的长期可持续性是不确定的。
