Abstract: Resting against a background of local and international movements in respect of human rights, South \nAfrican educators have had to implement a new curriculum, accept diversity and address inclusive \neducation with little or no training, insight and knowledge. Challenges at all levels in education, \nimpact on the successful education of children and the future of young adults who must as equal \nmembers of society enter a fast changing global economy. Challenges for educators in South Africa \nare unique. The lack of knowledge and training for educators and an inadequate infrastructure of the \ncountry present as some of the challenges for educators. This qualitative study deals with the \nsubjective experiences of educators in primary schools. The research indicates that when these \nchallenges are addressed educators will be both, better supported and disposed, towards the \nimplementation of inclusive education idealised as the panacea for social transformation in South Africa.
