Focusing on the necessary transformations in education, this book explores the administrative, curricular, attitudinal, and pastoral care adjustments essential for teachers in mainstream schools to effectively address the special needs of their students. It provides a comprehensive analysis of the challenges and solutions involved in creating an inclusive educational environment.
The authors, drawing from their scientific backgrounds, highlight the significant advancements in science and their positive societal effects. However, they raise concerns about the increasing tendency to regard scientific conclusions as definitive, overshadowing the inherently tentative nature of scientific inquiry. This critical examination prompts readers to reflect on the balance between scientific authority and ongoing questioning in various fields.
Chitokoloki Mission Hospital is a remote but remarkable facility in the North-Western Province of Zambia. This book comes from a compilation of daily reports about life in a remote African mission hospital. It is written from a personal and clinical angle and with a surgical emphasis because that formed the bulk of the activity that has been recorded. The detailed experiences of many patients has been captured and the author conveys the almost unbelievable reality that their experience reflects. Initially the reports formed a flowing clinical news blog and they have been assembled in book form to include the Christian context as well as insights into the reality of daily life in the local villages. Again and again these stories have been the focus of discussion and enquiry and it has been good to share the experiences to the point that others who become aware are ready to pray, support, give and even visit in order to contribute in some way to the work of the mission.
