    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to contribute to this Motion. The Motion states that we establish special units in every primary and secondary school for children with disabilities. It is true that many of our school-going children are suffering out there. They are unable to access education due to their physical condition. Article 100 of the Constitution states that women, persons with disabilities, youth, ethnic and other minorities, including marginalised communities, should be given preference. As much as this Motion talks about building of structures in primary and secondary schools, I think it is also prudent that these children receive attention in terms of, maybe, a stipend. We also need to look at their health status so that we can recommend that children with disabilities should be given free medical care. They should be given free primary education. The Government should pay for their secondary school all the way to university. They should be given wheelchairs. We should provide total care for these children so that they are part and parcel of this society."
