The Office of the Special Adviser on Special Education and Social Inclusion has organised a one-day training programme for Teachers and Care Givers in the Special Schools across the State with a call to parents having special children to register them in the Special Schools.

The Special Adviser said the topics of the training programme were well packaged to enhance the effectiveness of the teachers and caregivers.

She assured Persons With Disabilities in the State of their inclusion in the people oriented programs of the government in Ekiti State under the leadership of Governor Biodun Abayomi Oyebanji.

She however warned parents and the guardians of People With Disabilities not to see the Special Schools as a dumping ground for their disabled children. “What we want the parents to do is to work in partnership with the teachers, care givers and instructors in the special schools across the State and show love, care and affection to their special children.

She advised the teachers, care givers and instructors to always take proper care of the hygiene of the special children under their custody at the different special schools in the State.
