| dc.description.abstract | The study investigated the factors affecting performance of Mathematics among the visually impaired learners in primary schools in Kachumbala Sub- County of Bukedea district. The survey research design was used to achieve these objectives. A questionnaire and interview guide were developed and used to solicit responses from the respondents. Frequent counts and percentages were used to determine the factors affecting the performance of mathematics among the visually impaired learners in primary schools in Kachumbala sub-county of Bukedea district. I) Inadequate funding of Education of learners with special needs had greatly affected performance of mathematics by the visually Impaired Learners. 2) There was a marked decline in performance of mathematics by the visually impaired learners. 3) Government was emphasizing the Education of people with disabilities among them the visually impaired learners. It was therefore concluded that: I) Factors affecting performance of mathematics among the visually impaired learners should be addressed in order to help them perform better in the subject. 2) It is also important that the spillover effect of these factors be controlled if performance in mathematics is to be any better. 3) It is equally important for government to put 1n place measures that would help the visually impaired learners to perform better in Mathematics. On the basis of the above conclusion, it was recommended that: I) There is need for the government to train and post qualified Teachers with a bias in special needs Education to schools to help handle pupils with disabilities and more so the visually impaired learners. 2) There is need for the government to properly fund the Education of pupils with disabilities especially the visually impaired learners as a way of helping them fight poverty and stigmatization. | en_US |
