Njengomzali, uMaria wayenentambo ende kodwa wayesezofika ekugcineni. Uthisha-nhloko wayesanda kufona, ecela uMaria ukuba eze esikoleni azolanda indodana yakhe uJeremy, uthisha ayethe “yayisingasalawuleki.” Ngenxa yokuthi wayengakawuqedi umsebenzi wakhe wekilasi, uJeremy wamyala uthisha ukuba ahlale phakathi nekhefu. Ngaleso sikhathi, uJeremy waphonsa incwadi yakhe ebhodini.
UMaria wayazi ukuthi uJeremy ngezinye izikhathi angaba nedlanzana. Wayenemfundo ekhethekile futhi enezinkinga ezingokomzwelo nezokuziphatha. Empeleni lesi kwase kungokwesine ekwindla lapho uMaria ebizwa ngenxa yokuziphatha kwendodana yakhe, okwenza uJeremy waphuthelwa izinsuku eziyishumi esikoleni. Kulokhu, uthishanhloko uthe umisa uJeremy ezinye izinsuku eziyishumi, futhi uJeremy angase axoshwe noma ayiswe esikoleni esihlukile ngenxa yokuziphatha kwakhe okuphazamisayo.
Nakuba uMaria ayazi ukuthi ukuziphatha kukaJeremy akwamukeleki, wayekholelwa ukuthi kwakuhlobene nokukhubazeka kwakhe—futhi kungase kube nezindlela ezingcono zokubhekana nakho kunokugodla ikhefu nokumisa indodana yakhe. UJeremy wazama ukuhlala anganyakazi ekilasini, ukwenza ikhefu kwakuyikhefu elalidingeka kakhulu. Kwakubonakala kungenangqondo ukuthi uJeremy angase axoshwe ngenxa yokungaziphathi kahle okwakungelona iphutha lakhe. UMaria akazange yini ezwe ukuthi umfundi onezidingo ezikhethekile akanakujeziswa ngokuziphatha okwakuwukubonakaliswa kokukhubazeka kwengane? Ingabe umthetho wawungadingi ukuthi, njengengane ekhubazekile, uJeremy afanelekele izinkonzo ezifanele zemfundo?
Umthetho Wezemfundo Yabantu Abakhubazekile (IDEA) unikeza zonke izingane ezikhubazekile ilungelo lemfundo yamahhala efanele yomphakathi, okuhlanganisa nezingane ezimisiwe noma ezixoshwayo. I-IDEA inezinqubo eziqondile abaphathi besikole okufanele bazilandele lapho beyala izingane ezikhubazekile. Lezi zinqubo zilinganisa isidingo sokugcina izikole ziphephile kanye nelungelo lezingane ezikhubazekile lokuthola imfundo yamahhala efanele yomphakathi. Kunenqubo yokunquma ukuthi ukungaziphathi kahle komfundi kuwukubonakaliswa kokukhubazeka komfundi. Le nqubo ivimbela izingane ekujezisweni “ngokungaziphathi kahle” okuhlobene nokukhubazeka kwengane. Ngeshwa, izinqubo ze-IDEA zingadida. Ukwenza izinto zibe lula, nansi eminye imibuzo evamile nezimpendulo mayelana nenqubo yokunquma ukubonakaliswa.
Q: Ubani owenza ukuzimisela kokubonakaliswa?
IMP: Ukunqunywa kokubonakaliswa kwenziwa iqembu elihlanganisa umzali wengane kanye namalungu afanelekile ethimba le-Individualized Educational Programme (IEP) yengane. Abazali nabaphathi besikole banquma ukuthi yimaphi amalungu eqembu le-IEP azofakwa emhlanganweni.
Q: Kufanele kwenziwe nini ukuzimisela kokubonakaliswa?
IMPENDULO: Noma nini lapho isikole sinquma ukususa noma ukumisa umfundi onokukhubazeka ekufakweni komfundi esikoleni izinsuku ezingaphezu kweziyishumi.
Q: Iqembu linquma kanjani ukuthi ukungaziphathi kahle komfundi kuwukubonakaliswa kokukhubazeka komfundi?
IMP: Okokuqala iqembu libuyekeza lonke ulwazi olufanele efayeleni lomfundi, okuhlanganisa nanoma yiluphi ulwazi oluvela ku-IEP, okubhekwe ngothisha kanye nolwazi olunikezwa abazali bomfundi. Ngokusekelwe kulokho kubuyekezwa, iqembu linquma ukuthi ingabe ukungaziphathi kahle komfundi kubangelwe noma kwakuhlobene ngokuqondile noma kakhulu nokukhubazeka komfundi noma uma ukungaziphathi kahle kwakuwumphumela oqondile wesifunda sesikole esingasebenzisi i-IEP yomfundi.
Uma iqembu linquma ukuthi ukungaziphathi kahle bekuhlobene nokukhubazeka komfundi noma kube umphumela oqondile wokungasebenzi kwe-IEP, ithimba linquma ukuthi ukuziphatha kabi kwakuwukubonakaliswa kokukhubazeka komfundi.
UMB: Uma umfundi azi okulungile nokungalungile futhi eqonda ukuthi akulungile ukwephula isimiso sokuziphatha somfundi, ingabe lokho akusho ukuthi ukungaziphathi kahle bekungekona ukubonakaliswa kokukhubazeka?
IMP: Cha. Nakuba umfundi engase azi ukuthi ukuziphatha kwakhe akulungile, ukungaziphathi kahle kungase kuhlobene ngokuqondile nokukhubazeka kwengane. Ngokwesibonelo, ukukhubazeka komfundi kungase kulinganisele ikhono lokulawula ukuziphatha komuntu. Noma, mhlawumbe izinsizakalo ze-IEP, ezifana nokwelulekwa, azizange zinikezwe, okubangela ukuziphatha komfundi kukhuphuke ngaphezu kokulawula komfundi.
Umbuzo: Kwenzekani uma ukungaziphathi kahle komfundi kunqunywa ukuthi kuwukubonakaliswa kokukhubazeka komfundi?
IMP: Ithimba le-IEP lomfundi liyahlangana, futhi ngaphandle uma kunezimo ezikhethekile noma ithimba le-IEP lishintsha ukubekwa komfundi kwezemfundo, umfundi ubuyela ohlelweni lwesikole abekulo ngaphambi kokumiswa. Ithimba le-IEP liphinde lenze Ukuhlolwa Kokuziphatha Okusebenzayo futhi lenze uhlelo lokungenelela kokuziphatha lomfundi. Ukuhlolwa Kokuziphatha Okusebenzayo kuqoqa ulwazi mayelana nokuziphatha komfundi ukuze kunqunywe ukuthi imuphi umsebenzi ukuziphatha komfundi okusebenzela umfundi. Uhlelo lokungenelela kokuziphatha luhlose ukweseka umfundi ekuchibiyeleni ukuziphatha okuyinkinga.
Umbuzo: Yiziphi izimo ezikhethekile?
IMP: Ezimeni zokuqondiswa kwezigwegwe ezibandakanya ukutholakala nezikhali noma izidakamizwa ezingekho emthethweni, noma uma umfundi edale ukulimala okubi, isikole singamkhipha umfundi kuze kube yizinsuku zesikole ezingama-45, ngisho noma ukungaziphathi kahle kuwukubonakaliswa kokukhubazeka komfundi. Umfundi kufanele athole izinsiza zemfundo ezifanele ngemva kwezinsuku eziyishumi zokuqala zesikole lapho umfundi esusiwe.
Q: Kuthiwani uma iqembu linquma ukuthi ukungaziphathi kahle akukona ukubonakaliswa kokukhubazeka komfundi?
IMP: Uma ukungaziphathi kahle komfundi kungekona ukubonakaliswa kokukhubazeka komfundi, khona-ke umfundi angase ajeziswe ngendlela efanayo neyomfundi ongenakukhubazeka. Nokho, uma umfundi exoshwa, umfundi usanelungelo lokuthola imfundo yamahhala efanele yomphakathi. Ezimweni eziningi, ukuziphatha komfundi kunqunywa ukuthi kube ukubonakaliswa kokukhubazeka komfundi. Kodwa, abazali banelungelo lokukhalaza ngesinqumo sokuthi ukuziphatha kwengane yabo akuhlobene nokukhubazeka kwengane yabo. Ukulalelwa kokuxazulula ukungaboni ngaso linye ohlelweni lokuqondiswa kwezigwegwe kuyasheshiswa. Eqinisweni, ukulalelwa kwecala kufanele kubanjwe zingakapheli izinsuku zesikole ezingama-20 ngemva kokuba kuceliwe, futhi isinqumo kufanele senziwe zingakapheli izinsuku eziyishumi zesikole ngemva kokuqedwa kokuqulwa kwecala.
Ngokujwayelekile isikhathi sokufundisa nesithokozisayo sezingane, isikole singaba isikhathi esinzima ezinganeni ezinezidingo ezikhethekile. Ukuziphatha kabi nokungaziphathi kahle kwemizwa kwalezi zingane kungadideka ngenxa yobubi bendabuko bezingane. Ukuqinisekisa impumelelo nenjabulo kwezemfundo yengane yakho, hlala wazi izidingo zengane yakho futhi uqinisekise ukuthi isikole sengane yakho siyaziqonda izinqubo zokuziphatha ngaphansi kwe-IDEA.
