Mar 9, 2025, Loop News: Morris Dixon vows to increase special needs education options locally
Minister of Education, Skills, Youth and Information, Dr Dana Morris Dixon, has underscored the need for more special education options locally.
She revealed that the ministry will continue to engage with tertiary institutions to increase the number of career paths in the field, as special needs is now a focus of the Government.
"I was looking at all of the schools, and the thing that I look for the most was how many special needs education teachers were we graduating, and it wasn't enough. I didn't see enough," Morris Dixon lamented.
She was addressing students at a Special Education Seminar at Shortwood Teachers’ College on Thursday.
The minister's comments came as the Government rolls out its new special needs policy, designed to ensure early identification and intervention for students with special needs.
