    "content": "special needs and disabilities; (c) ensure training of personnel working with children with special needs and disabilities on use of screening tools for early interventions; (d) facilitate development of programmes for training and professional development for all pre-primary education providers and personnel in special needs education; (e) ensure that children with special needs and disabilities have equal access to recreational sporting facilities within and outside pre-primary school programmes to nurture talents; (f) ensure that teachers and other staff in integrated pre-primary schools plan and implement an integrated individualised education programme for the purpose of monitoring the progress of an individual child with special needs and disabilities; (g) liaise with other professionals and stakeholders to provide psychosocial support to children with special needs and disabilities; (h) facilitate provision of teacher aids to pre-primary schools to support teachers handling children with special needs and disabilities; and (i) ensure that children with special needs and disabilities are provided with any other necessary support. Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, the amendment seeks to ensure that the Bill is aligned with the provisions of the Basic Education Act (No.14 of 2013) that makes reference to children with special needs. Further, the amendment seeks to provide for the specific measures that shall be taken by the MCEC to ensure that children with special needs have access to ECD education. As indicated in Clause 9 (1), the MCEM shall put in place such infrastructure as may be necessary to ensure that children with special needs have access to, and are provided with, ECD education. In some counties, this has not been provided. The Bill seeks to ensure that special needs, as an entity in the Ministry of Education, is aligned from secondary all the way to ECD education. Thank you."
