The government’s policy on education in my country
is to educate all learners to achieve their full potential and become productive
citizens.
A National Policy was developed to ensure that children
with disabilities and children who are excluded because of difficulties are
included with adequate and
appropriate support services. Example: programmes are geared towards varying
abilities, and changes were made in teaching methods, curriculum, and
environment to meet the needs of all learners.
The impact of this policy is favourable and seemed
to be working post Covid 19. Special educators were deployed into the schools to
assist children with special needs, testing eyes and ears before entering
primary school was being done, new schools were being built with adequate
infrastructure. Parents were being supported with grants to help support their
special needs child/children. I think more teachers should be sent into schools,
more special needs schools should be constructed, and parents should be given more
support not just monetary but emotionally and mentally as well.
