The New Curriculum to Accommodate Challenges Facing Children With Special Needs

A new curriculum is being developed to accommodate challenges facing pupils and students with moderate to severe special educational needs, lawmakers told in Dodoma on Tuesday.

The Minister for Education, Science and Technology admitted at Bunge that some pupils or students with special education needs require more time for learning and doing examinations.

“With opinions aired by stakeholders, this has been highly considered in the new curriculum,”

Prof Mkenda told lawmakers when he was reacting to Special Seat MP Salma Kikwete’s question.

In her supplementary question, Ms Salma wanted to know how challenges facing children with pupils with autism will be addressed amidst the ongoing process of developing education curriculum.

Reacting to the question, Minister Mkenda said currently, such pupils are being given more time to do exams but challenges facing them and others with special needs will be addressed amicably in the anticipated new curriculum.

Earlier, another Special Seat MP, Ms Ng’wasi Damasi Kamani tasked the Ministry to explain if there is a specific learning time.

In her supplement question, the MP asked the Minister if the authorities were aware of some schools going beyond the specified time.

However, Prof Mkenda said it is difficult to have a ‘one-size-fit-all’ timetable because of distance and curriculum.

For instance, he noted, the schools which use Cambridge Curriculum can’t have the same timetable with others though he had a piece of advice for both parents and investors in the education sector.

He advised parents to register their children in nearby schools and the private sector to build more learning facilities closer to wananchi’s residences.
