disabilities. Parliamentarians need to be educated on the importance of
access to education for children with disabilities, including CWLD.

the needs of students in special education , the Commission strongly supports
the proposal by the Ministry of Education as outlined in the Education
Blueprint to make special education needs a core subject in the education
curriculum in all universities and teachers’ institutions.
