    "content": "persons with disabilities respectively in that persons with disabilities have a right to access educational institutions and facilities that are integrated into society to the extent compatible with their interests and needs; further aware that the Government provides for education to children living with disabilities through integrated units in primary schools; cognisant of the fact that lack of a clear implementation framework of the Special Needs Education policy, inadequate funding, and inadequate teachers with the right skills to teach children with disabilities across the various regions of country hampers access to education by children with disabilities; deeply concerned that there are few designated special education schools in the country hence further hampering access to education by the children living with various disabilities including and not limited to autism, dyslexia, down syndrome, cerebral palsy and physical disabilities; noting that there is need to provide special attention to these children; this House urges the National Government through the Ministry of Education to establish a special needs school in every primary and secondary school in every constituency across the country."
