The Ministry of Education has established a comprehensive and supportive Special Education Program, which has received funding from the U.S. Department of Education in the form of a grant. The primary goal of this program is to enable the Ministry of Education to effectively address the educational needs of students with special needs. To ensure that all eligible students receive the necessary support, a child can be referred for evaluation by a teacher, parent, counselor, or principal to determine their eligibility for special education services.
The special education processes adhere to the guidelines outlined in the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA), which is a crucial U.S. federal law governing education for children with special needs. This ensures that students with disabilities receive an appropriate education and have their individual needs met through special education services.
