The findings from the interpreted data showed that free primary education played a major role in the poor academic performance of learners with specific learning difficulties. It brought absent, increased numbers of learners per class thus learner teacher ratio is very high, making it hard for teachers to attend individual learners (I.E.P) Thus there is need for necessary adjustments to facilitate learning and make it accessible to all learners irrespective of their abilities, disabilities and economic backgrounds. The Ministry of Education should therefore look into ways of expanding facilities, resources and to re-train teachers to include special needs education in the primary teachers education. | en_US |
