In order to fulfil the specification of its governing strategic plan, the Ministry of Education has plans to offer a non-graduate programme which will see teachers being trained to adequately deliver to students with special needs. And according to National Coordinator of Special Needs, Karen Hall, this programme maybe offered within a few years.“We recognise that we need to have a countrywide inclusive education programme, so the goal is to within two or three years, have a programme offered directly by the Ministry. The Ministry already has such programmes for Maths and Science but we are hoping to have one for Inclusive Education,” Hall added.Currently there are a number of organisations supporting the Ministry in the area of special needs education including the Community Based Rehabilitation Programme and Volunteer Services Overseas (VSO). However,Cheap Football Jerseys, Hall revealed during an interview that there are yet a lot of needs existing within the special needs schools.“This is an area that needs a lot of input. What we have done so far has been ad hoc,Cheap Soccer Jerseys Free Shipping, so one of the things we are trying to do is to streamline what exists then try to reach the direct needs of each school. But because the schools are so different and varied,Cheap NFL Jerseys China, we have the blind, the deaf, the behavioural, Down’s syndrome,Cheap Jerseys, speech, etc. It is a large task for a small group.”According to Hall, there are about 1,200 children in special needs schools and paramount among the areas to be addressed to help improve the delivery of education is the modification of the physical environment.? This,Nike Vapormax Plus Womens, she explained, would entail the modifying of physical access to classroom settings, and in some instances the upgrade of sections of facilities to enable use by those with special needs.But even without the ideal systems in place, Hall said that there have been some schools that “have been doing great on their own…with donations through the various PTAs (Parent Teacher Associations). It is amazing that there have been people who have been there for years and have not had training in special education, but yet they have been doing a fantastic job.”“I must say hats off to those teachers who despite all the challenges they face have worked to help our children with special needs.”The Ministry of Education’s move to improve the delivery of special education comes at a time when measures are being taken on a national scale to recognise the rights of differently-able persons with the implementation of the Disabled Persons Act. However,Cheap Stitched MLB Jerseys, Hall observed on Friday that the components for the implementation of the Act have not yet been developed in totality.Karen Hall (at left) engaging some of the participants “We are not going to wait on that, we are going ahead and because we are working with the teachers we are getting a feel for what is happening on the ground. So we can actually match the need for any development programme with what we are going to plan at the level of the (Special Education) Unit,” Hall noted.And since the Special Education Unit is so designed to ensure that children, even those with, autism or hearing impairment can attend mainstream schools, there is a need to ensure that at some point the competency of teachers are developed in all of the country’s schools.In order to discuss the way forward a meeting was held at the National Centre for Educational Resource Development (NCERD) on Friday which saw the attendance of heads of departments and the head teachers of special schools. The forum also entailed a training component which saw the participants being exposed to discussions about assessing specific disabilities and the importance of promoting competency-based training which fits directly into special education.Ten previous meetings were held in the past, but Friday saw the participation of teachers who were last year able to participate in a special education training programme in Canada which was sponsored by VSO.
