    "content": "So, Hon. Members the funding gap is significant especially given the growing enrolment in our learning institutions. The Ministry has continued to make appeals to the Departmental Committee on Education and the National Assembly in general to enhance the budgetary provisions so that learners can be funded at the approved rates. This under-funding poses a serious threat to the quality of learning in the institutions, especially those with learners who have severe disabilities. The special needs education institutions need to be supported adequately to acquire the relevant assistive devices and learning resources depending on the nature of disabilities and also to pay the non-teaching staff and care givers. Learners with special needs require more resources including a staffing ratio of 1:1 for those with severe disabilities."
