Universal Basic Education Commission (UBEC) says it is planning to institute new dimension strategies in basic education in the country.
Dr Hamid Boboyi, Executive Secretary of the Commission disclosed this at a two-day interactive meeting of the department of special programs with SUBEB special Education desk officers in Abuja.
Boboyi said right attitude and commitment would see that the initiative is implemented with a high degree of outcome to meet the socio-economic development of the country and also meet up with the international standards of education that would make Nigeria and Nigerian children equal among their peers.
He added that technical experts have been carefully selected to kick start the program for a clearer understanding of the principles of inclusive education in terms of whole-school planning.
Boboyi mentioned that the effective inclusive education system will bring about the implementation of individualized education opportunities for different categories of children with disabilities, provide a common learning environment for all learners and present a clear vision and well stated mission geared toward achieving exceptional learning performance.
He urged participants at the meeting to put in the right attitude to work considering the future of the children, particularly children with special needs to bring out the required report that will achieve the objectives of this national assignment.
