Problems Facing Special Needs Education in Kenya 

Schools ill-equipped to support children with special needs: Report

The new report launched by Amina Mohamed, Education Cabinet Secretary launched the report on March 22, 2018 shows students with special needs have to make do with ill-equipped schools and teachers.

By Daily Nation

Writer: JAMES KAHONGEH

The system in Kenya is still ill-equipped to support learners with disabilities and special needs, a joint report by the Kenya Institute of Special Education (Kise) and the Ministry of Education has revealed.

The National Survey on Children with Disabilities and Special Needs in Education, conducted between 2016 and 2017, shows that 11 per cent of all learners in Kenya have one or another form of disability.

DISABILITIES

The most common disabilities among learners include visual impairment (3.1 per cent), physical disability (3 per cent), intellectual disability (2.5 per cent), hearing impairment (1.2 per cent), speech and language (0.9 per cent), deafblind (0.2 per cent).

While a significant number of these children are enrolled in schools, the rate of school dropout remains high due to lack of support services in most learning institutions.

The report points out at glaring inadequacies in teachers trained to handle special needs education in assessment centres and schools in Kenya.

The majority of head teachers in primary integrated schools and special units (78.28 per cent) do not have any training in special needs education, for instance. Only 2.24 per cent of these have a Master’s degree in special needs education (SNE).

According to the report, the country lacks a policy framework to guide the implementation of inclusive education, while capitation for children with disabilities is not disaggregated according to type and severity of disabilities.

COUNTIES

Additionally, the curriculum used in schools does not meet needs of children with disabilities and special needs in education.

A platform for anyone who is willing to make a difference in the lives of others. Our goal is to provide parents, teachers, experts etc with links to special schools, to give you a brief overview of our programs and services, convenient site to find out about upcoming events, opportunities and general information.

The  system in Kenya is still ill-equipped to support learners with disabilities and special needs, a joint report by the Kenya Institute of Special Education (Kise) and the Ministry of Education has revealed.

According to the report, the country lacks a policy framework to guide the implementation of inclusive education, while capitation for children with disabilities is not disaggregated according to type and severity of disabilities.

COUNTIES

Additionally, the curriculum used in schools does not meet needs of children with disabilities and special needs in education.

County governments, the report further indicates, do not support Educational Assessment Resource Service centres, with only three institutions (6 per cent) reporting having received support in terms of personnel, office space and equipment from their counties.

Understaffing, inadequate material, lack of appropriate tools and inadequate funding are some of the main challenges that most education assessment resource service centres face.

Advocacy, sensitisation and mobilisation of education for children with disabilities at the grassroots is also poor. Parents and guardians, according to the report, are not actively involved in education of their children with disabilities.

The distribution of children with disabilities in the country is even, with 51.2 per cent boys and 48.8 per cent girls.

Interestingly, 72.6 per cent of all learners with disabilities and special needs live in rural areas while with 27.4 per cent living in urban areas.

The purpose of the survey was to generate data that will be used to improve service provision to learners with disabilities in schools in Kenya.

These findings come at a time when the government is undertaking wide-ranging educational reforms, and the implementation of the competency-based curriculum (CBC) that was rolled out early this year. The new curriculum puts emphasis on nurturing the wholesome potential of learners besides their academic capabilities.

The report on findings of the survey was launched on Thursday by Education Cabinet Secretary Ambassador Amina Mohamed at the start of the East Africa Conference on Inclusive Education at the United States International University-Africa.

The two-day conference brings together education delegates from across the East Africa and Europe to discuss ways of enhancing access, equity, quality and opportunity for all learners.

The survey was conducted in all the 47 counties, targeting households, schools, education officers, non-governmental organisations, teachers and children aged between 3 and 21 years who suffer from physical, sensory, intellectual and psychosocial disabilities.

Education CS Dr Amina Mohamed described the findings as a great effort towards availing reliable data for purposes of planning and provision of quality education to children with disabilities and special needs in the education in the country.

“The findings of this survey are an eye-opener to stakeholders in education and a clarion call to re-strategise education in order to address the needs identified. This will ensure that services provided adequately address the child’s interests,” Dr Mohamed said, calling for collaboration between the government and other players to enhance education for children with disabilities and special needs.

Education Principal Secretary Belio Kipsang said that the government will introduce assessment centres for children with disabilities in all the counties.

“The ministry will work to ensure that all learning institutions are properly equipped and that all support facilities are made available to all learners requiring them to ensure that no child is disadvantaged in the learning environment,” said Dr Kipsang.

The assessment of the state of infrastructure to support learners with disabilities is expected to be completed by June this year, according to the ministry of education.

Among the recommendations made by the report include the need to develop and implement policy on inclusive education to enhance access, retention and transition of children with disabilities and special needs.

The report further proposes the need to separate capitation for children with disabilities in schools with regard to the type and severity of their disability.

It also calls for the review of the curriculum to ensure that it meets the needs of learners with disabilities, enhance staff trained in special needs education in assessment centres and schools to facilitate quality service delivery.

Studying Special Educational Needs at University of Nairobi

The best special needs education courses and programs offered by Kenyan universities and colleges 

Studying Special Educational Needs at UoN: Hannah’s story

Hannah talks about her course and the experiences that she had over three years studying Special Educational Needs and Inclusion (SENI) at Northampton.

The first thing people ask when you mention that you went to university is why you chose that course or university in the first place. Open days and UCAS forms at the age of 17 can be daunting and picking the university/town/city that you’ll be spending at least three years of your life in can be a mammoth task. For me, picking my top 2 choices on UCAS was easy, because they were both Northampton. Of all the universities I visited for open days and interviews, Northampton was the university that made me feel at home, where I could see myself living, socialising and studying, all the while being well supported by the friendly and approachable Special Educational Needs and Inclusion (SENI) lecturing team. Another reason to choose Northampton was, at the time, because it was the only university in the country to run a SENI specific course (not joint with education studies or a QTS course) and even today, although there are now other courses around the country, BA(Hons) Special Educational Needs & Inclusion at Northampton offers a unique and specialised insight into all aspects of not just Special Educational Needs, but the concept of Inclusion as a whole.

Whilst on the course, I undertook a range of compulsory work-based experiences as well as voluntary and international work. For my compulsory work-based experience I considered the concept inclusion holistically and decided to shadow the work of a chiropodist, working primarily with older people with hearing needs and dementia. I completed a portfolio study on how the work of chiropody is adapted to the needs of these people. During the latter half of my first year I volunteered with the local Riding for the Disabled Association (RDA) group, research that became essential for a later study on Equine Assisted Therapy which was published in ‘The Routledge Companion to Severe, Profound and Multiple Learning Difficulties’ (Lacey et al, 2015). Internationally, I was fortunate enough to twice visit Romania for 5 days at a time and also spend five weeks in Hong Kong.

In Romania, I worked as part of a team to plan and deliver creative workshops in a special school, as well as visit a range of provisions of children with additional needs, including profound needs and autism.

Cluj Napoca, Romania (2015)

My visit to Hong Kong was incredible and made me fall in love with that part of the world. For five weeks in August 2015 I was given the amazing opportunity to live and work in Hong Kong, working in mainstream and special schools to deliver lessons and activities as part of a social enterprise and cultural exchange summer camp. I was part of a team of seven SENI and Primary Education students, working together to provide activities but we worked individually to plan and deliver lessons to our students.

Hong Kong Summer Camp, 2015

Secondary teaching, Hong Kong 2015

My class, Hong Kong 2015

Alongside the teaching, the summer camp also allowed for social time at the weekends and evenings. This meant that we got to visit the Peak of Hong Kong, Tian Tian (Big) Buddha, Ocean Park and Stanley Market amongst others. This trip was way more than a university field trip, it was the trip of a lifetime!

Tian Tian Buddha, Hong Kong 2015

My advice to prospective students at Northampton would be to embrace all the opportunities afforded to you or, alternatively, ask if they can be. Without asking, trips, experiences or knowledge may be passing you by and the lecturing team is a mine full of information just waiting to be tapped into! Embrace all parts of the experience if you can, from sports teams to being a student ambassador or working for the university (I worked as a Residential Life Assistant for two years alongside my studying). Even working for the university will give you a unique insight into other sides of it!

Now four years on from my first weeks at university, having now completed the SENI degree and a Masters degree, I wish I’d known just how quickly those years would go. People always said it but I just didn’t believe them. It really does feel like a blinked during Freshers Week 2013 and then it was July 2016 and I was graduating with a 1st Class Degree. I also wish I’d known to make the most of my summer breaks. I didn’t do anything in the summer between 1st and 2nd year (many of my course mates did camp America or similar) and looking back this was a waste, because there will be very few times in graduate life where you will have three free months! I’d also recommend living in halls so that you’re close for both studying and socialising, getting involved with all uni has to offer and remember that your friends will get you through it, you’re all in the same boat!

Graduation, July 2016

Your three years at university will be very much what you choose to make it, but it is also worth remembering that no two person’s university experiences will be the same. Every person adapts to university life differently,you will want different experiences and aspirations upon leaving. I believe this degree set me up for the future both academically and professionally, therefore once I graduated I completed a Masters degree in International Relations at Loughborough University (to conduct further study into international issues and their impact on the SEN field) and I am now working as a Welfare Officer at a Leicestershire Secondary school.

This degree course is unique in its content, its assessment styles (presentations, academic posters, portfolios and essays) and the experiences that it offers. If you choose to study Special Educational Needs and Inclusion at Northampton, you will be enrolling into a very unique and exciting chapter of your life.
