    "content": "Where the CEB is of the opinion that a child within its area of jurisdiction may have a special education need, then the CEB shall determine a suitable education provision that shall alleviate the learning difficulties of that child. Therefore, there is need for assessment so that a child can be assessed and placed properly. Part V is about institutional management of special education. There is an establishment of a SNEAB, which I had mentioned earlier. This Bill seeks to establish a SNEAB. Clause 23 states that there will be established within the Ministry of Education, a board to be known as the SNEAB. It is something that does not exist. That is why the attention to these children has been extremely low. The functions of the SNEAB will be to examine, comment and advise the Cabinet Secretary on any rules and regulations proposed to be made by this Act in itself and also advise the Cabinet Secretary and any Government agency on any matter pertaining to the provision of special education. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, this is an important board. It will also make an annual report to the Cabinet Secretary. The report on the progress or lack of it, made towards special education by the Government, shall be published in a gazette notice. This is new and for us to progress, we need to monitor the performance of all institutions and in particular the education institutions. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, Clause 24 (1) on Special Needs Education Resource Centres says – “The Cabinet Secretary (CS) for Education shall establish a Special Needs Education Resource Centre in every county and shall ensure that the centre is properly and adequately staffed with appropriate qualified personnel and equipment.”"
