Abstract
The impact of free primary education has been manifold and complex. The quality and magnitude
of the programme has affected not only the normal physically fit pupil, but also the physically
challenged learners in inclusive schools as well as the wider community and society.
The study adopted a Quantitative research design. This enhanced the researcher to obtain a better
understanding of the problems and impact of free primary education on the quality of special
education for the physically disabled learners in Meru District Kenya. The method chosen allowed
a collection of comprehensive and intensive data and provided an in-depth understanding of the
topic under study.
Information collected was analyzed and edited to create consistency and completeness. After
collecting the questionnaires they were edited for completeness and consistency across the
respondents and to locate omissions. Information obtained from the research study was presented
and analyzed using narratives, and statistical figures.
This report provides suggestions for more effective approach to physically disabled education in
the country. It is designed for policy makers, planners and practitioners who have responsibilities
in the area of physically disabled education in Kenya.
