"content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I rise in this House today as a happy person. At the outset, I support the Learners with Disabilities Bill (Senate Bill No.4 of 2023). We talk about disabilities a lot, but we do not know the extent to which people who live with disabilities are impacted. We must first realise that there are many forms of disabilities. We have the deaf and hard of hearing, the visually impaired, the physically challenged, autistic persons, and those with multiple disabilities. When it comes to learning, it is imperative that we look at these categories individually. In addition to debating the Bill, we must go further to ensure that disabilities are managed at a policy level. I commend the Departmental Committee on Education, but I wish they could go a step further to amend the Bill to introduce a special unit that will be exclusively in charge of special institutions, just like the Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) institutions that take care of TVET colleges. The unit should have its own Principal Secretary. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
