The Australian Centre for Student Equity and Success acknowledges Indigenous peoples across Australia as the Traditional Owners of the lands on which the nation’s campuses are situated. With a history spanning more than 60,000 years as the original educators, Indigenous peoples hold a unique place in our nation. We recognise the importance of their knowledge and culture, and reflect the principles of participation, equity, and cultural respect in our work. We pay our respects to Elders past, present, and future, and consider it an honour to learn from our Indigenous colleagues, partners, and friends.

Grace Kwamboka Rasugu, a Curriculum Developer (Special Needs Education) from the Kenya Institute of Education (KIE), recently visited the National Centre at Curtin University to discuss the training offered to teacher trainees undertaking special needs education, particularly with regard to handling inclusive education issues as a global trend.

Grace was able to discuss the processes in assisting equity students gain access to higher education in Kenya, where students with disabilities are offered special compensation to enter university. This compensation is beneficial in enabling such students to achieve a university education.
