  • Gow, Mostert, and Dreyer's research explores the transformation of South African higher education with a focus on inclusive policies and the challenges faced by students with specific learning disabilities (SLDs). The study emphasizes the historical context of post-Apartheid South Africa's efforts to increase access to universities, mainly for black students. The researchers highlight that, while universities have policies to support students with disabilities, the focus is often on physical accessibility. The research, conducted as a qualitative systematic review from 1994 to 2017, investigates the transition experiences of undergraduate students with SLDs move from high school to higher education. The findings underscore the importance of aligning policy and practice to create a more inclusive and equitable educational environment.
