2.0. ACHIEVEMENTS;
ü Supported 3 dialogue meetings with parents and community leaders on inclusive education and ECD concept for increased enrollment of marginalized children into school. The dialogue aimed at getting the opinions from the key stakeholders on how inclusive education can be achieved among the CWDs with major focus on pre-primary levels. The community leaders have confirmed that the major challenge is lack of trained teachers to handle the children with complex disabilities and this makes parents resort to keeping them at home because sending them to school and they are not being attended to as wasting time.
