Considering Inclusive Education Through International Research Partnerships Involving Organizations From Ghana and Canada

By Wisdom Mprah

This article responds to the question, In what ways can an international research partnership involving partners from Canada and Ghana contribute to efforts to foster inclusive education in schools? We describe a research partnership that involved universities in Canada and Ghana, civil-society organizations, schools, and government departments. We examine opportunities and learning experiences that were facilitated by the partnership. Key lessons from the partnership are articulated. A framework is proposed, the 4R Model for International Research Partnership that prioritizes reciprocity, responsiveness, relationships, and resources to ensure that international research partnerships are best positioned to accomplish their goals. © (2023), (Scholarship at Western).
