Inclusive Education for Disabled kids in PNG

Inclusive Education is still an issue for children with disability in the country and this was one of the key issues highlighted this morning during the National Disable Day Celebrations with the theme “Inclusive Matters – Access and Empowerment of People with Disabilities”.
Students representing six (6) main stream primary schools in NCD that have been accepting children with disabilities from the Cheshire Learning Centre all turned up for the event.
United Nations Resident Representative Mr Roy Trivedy stressed on the important of inclusive education.
“All schools throughout the country should make their schools inclusive and accessible for both the disable and the normal children to learn, which is one way to show the people with disability that disability does not stop one from achieving his or her dream.”
Mr Trivedy said inclusive development is one of the key goals in the 2016 Sustainable Development Goals that must be achieved by all.
