    "content": "Special needs education is currently provided in special schools through the integration processes and special units attached to regular schools. This is in line with universal primary school education to embrace inclusive practices by keeping special needs children in ordinary classrooms where they learn with their peers. Although we have the policy of integrating children with disabilities in schools, there are few public primary and secondary schools which have implemented this policy. For instance in my constituency, there is only one primary school called Mtongwe Primary School which has implemented that policy. They have integrated children with disabilities. That shows that despite having the policy in place, still our public schools have not embraced it. You can even imagine transition from one level to another needs to be addressed because we have few Early Childhood Development Education (ECDE) centres for pupils with disabilities. We also have few primary schools and secondary schools. That is why we have only few students who enrol in our public universities. For instance, we have only 645 students with disabilities in more than 70 public and private universities in our country."
