National Policy on Radical Inclusion in Schools

This national policy, Sierra Leone's first of its kind, provides a roadmap for the Ministry of Basic and Senior Secondary Education (MBSSE) to ensure inclusive schooling for all children regardless of background or status. The policy prioritizes four excluded and marginalized groups: children with disabilities; children from low-income families; children in rural and underserved areas; and girls - especially girls who are currently pregnant and in school or are parent learners. It aims to eradicate stigma, harassment, and exclusion within the education system.
