Ndame Thomas is a licensed special educator, professionally trained as inclusive education consultant, practitioner, researcher and lecturer in Sweden and the UK. Presently, he is recruited as an Instructor of Special Educational Needs at the University of Buea, Cameroon. He has research interest in the abovementioned areas. His national and international training and working experiencing in Cameroon, France, Sweden and the UK have helped in shaping his present professional portfolio. He is also a member of some national and international professional organizations.
\nIn practical research activities, he has always been involved in many individual and team works. While in Sweden as a guest researcher in 2002, he jointly published an article: Stick head in the bush \u2013\u201cSticka huvudet i busken\u201d with colleagues of the Department of Linguistics at the University of Gothenburg. It consists of metaphoric expressions derived from natural vegetation as used in daily pragmatic communication and learning in Swedish, Finnish, Russian, Chinese and Cameroonian Languages. In Britain, during the annual staff and student conference at the University of Exeter in 2011, he presented a paper focused on cultural (official biculturalism) and linguistic (official bilingualism) dimensions of inclusion in the Cameroonian education system.
\nAfter his return to Cameroon in 2012, while applying for a teaching position at the University of Buea, he met and joined the UNESCO Chair research team in rounding up the transnational research entitled: \u201cInclusive Education in Institutions in Africa: The Preparedness of Educators\u201d. Shortly afterwards, in March 2014, he published a paper reporting his doctorate empirical study in the AJOSE academic journal. Since his recruitment at the University of Buea in February 2015, he has been actively promoting inclusive education through teaching and supervising\u00a0 some\u00a0 undergraduate theses (long essays). He was also a member of the organizing research committee for the Second Biennial Inclusive Education Symposium in West and Central Africa hosted by the University of Buea, Cameroon in April, 2015. During the Symposium, he presented a paper which highlights the multidisciplinary characteristics of inclusive education, its role in enhancing health, educational, social and psychological support services to persons with special needs and its contribution in the development of individuals and the society.
\nHis current research is focused on: \u201cDeveloping a comprehensive and sustainable inclusive education policy-transforming the education system in Cameroon\u201d, to help guide practice that removes or reduces barriers and facilitates schooling and education\u00a0 for student diversity including those with disabilities, difficulties and disadvantages (DDD) in ordinary or mainstream institutions.<\/p>\n
