"content": "On the issue of special schools, even if we want to streamline issues and ensure that special children interact with the able-bodied ones in schools, we cannot run away from having special schools. The caregivers have a very hard time. I know children with special needs need someone to take care of them, all round, and even take them to the toilet. So, special schools cannot be treated the same way we treat the normal primary schools. When we incubate them... For instance, there is a school called Township in my constituency which has a primary section and a special one. What it means is that as the Ministry of Education allocates money through capitation, there must be affirmative action to give enough money to special schools. Children in special schools need to be taken care of round the clock. They need to be bathed, changed, provided with diapers, and even given mobility assistance. This cannot be a cheap affair. The Government must be deliberate about it and allocate enough money that will run schools."
