More with special needs

WE would like to thank Deputy Education Minister Datuk P. Kamalanathan for highlighting the requirements of special needs children. He was reported as saying that “the ministry will train mainstream schools teachers to ensure special education students will also get the same educational opportunities as students at regular schools” in a Bernama report last month.

It was also reported that Kamalanathan encouraged “non-governmental organisations to work with the ministry by sharing knowledge and providing assistance to identify the problems faced by special education teachers.”
