WHAT ARE THE KEY EDUCATION CONSIDERATION FOR SPECIAL NEED EDUCATION

There several key consideration that are to be taken into accounts in special need education which are
as follows .special need education are specially decided instruction to meet the unlike need of the child
with disability. The broad definition is that it is an umbrella that covers the academics, the physical the
cognitive and social emotional instruction offered to children who have more than disabilities.

These key considerations includes :A frame work of law and policies that support inclusion education
,legislation within countries should lead to provision of facilities that enhances development and process
that works towards inclusive education ,in particular there should be one legal framework covering all
compulsory school sectors this includes ,take into account the need of all learners with(SNE) in
planning ,financing ,formation implementation and evaluation of all education strategies .Be
underpinned by the philosophy of promoting inclusion and meeting individual learner needs within all
and meeting individual learners need within all education sectors .Be reflexible enough to reflects local
levels need .Provide for the phased development of inclusion policy ,in the short term there should be
recognizable separate action plan or strategies within general policy in the medium term strategies
within general policy in the medium inclusion should be given within all education policies and strategies
.Be multiple phase and transectoral cooperation at national and local levels ,policy makers from the
education health and social sectors need to work cooperatively to devise policies and plans that would
facilitates and actively support a multidisplinary approach in the preschool sector ,compulsory schooling
the transition phase from school to employment and within the post compulsory education ,particularly
the higher education sector .Take account of international level policies and initiatives need to be
considered within the formation of national level policies this will ensure that access to all possible
resources and opportunity for leaders with(SNE)is facilitated through information about European
communities programs such as Socrates and Leonardo ,leadership in relationship to policy
implementation is of the highest importance ,government ,regional policy makers at the level of
communities ,schools districts or school cluster as well as head teacher have an essential role in
translating and implementing government policies into practice ,their efforts should be actively
supported by policies that’s are clearly communicated and actually assists them in their leadership role

Resourcing arrangements that’s promote inclusion ,this should be done through decentralization
funding approaches that enables organization to support effective practice .A decentralized is likely to
be the most cost effective and more responsive to the needs of local population ,flexibility for schools in
using financial resources according to their identified needs and requirements within the context of
national policies .Appropriate and flexible form of support for teachers working with learners(SEN)
should be the aim and result of policies .The availability of supports from specialized teachers plays a
crucial role as its cannot be expected that all classroom teacher have the knowledge and expertise to
meet every specific policy makers must ensure that the content that teacher support system is diverse
and responsive to local level and individual needs .limited or no access to certain facilities and provision
may actually hinder inclusion and equality of opportunity for learners with(SEN)

Effective arrangements for monitoring evaluation and accountability .Achieving positive outcome for
learners with (SEN) requires effective arrangements for monitoring and evaluating provision .promoting
partnership between school local policy makers and parent also requires those arrangements to be
transparent so that there is greater accountability for the service provided particularly within a
decentralized system ,independent evaluation of the quality of education within (SEN) should therefore
be part of any arrangements for monitoring evaluation and accountability

A focus on widening access and opportunity. Inclusive education policies are designed to widen access
to education and promote opportunities, for all learners with special education needs to realize their
potential. The following aspects of policy have been found to make significant contribution to achieving
this. Involving parents as full partners in the process of educating their children by enabling them to
have access to information and first hand experiences of different form of educational provision so that
they can make informed choices ,it should also encourages local organizations and schools to overcome
barriers to learning and assessment that parents access to the curriculum . The medical approach to
assessment of learning needs using the concept of handicap should be replaced by amore wide ranging
education approach ,which is concerned with providing access to appropriate forms of curriculum ,this
could be done through developing individualized education programs(IEP) promoting positive attitude
towards the education of learners with(SEN) appear to be largely determined by personal experiences
education policies must recognize these attitudinal factors and incorporate strategies and resources to
address them

Encouraging all teachers to assume responsibility for all learners whatever their individual needs .This is
crucial factor in promoting inclusion and should be an integral parts of policies. Acritical factor in this is
equipping all teachers with professional knowledge and skills so that they are able to meet this
challenge. Providing access to a variety of flexible training opportunities and routes for teachers and
other staff .the importance of equipping mainstreaming teachers with the skills to meet a diversity of
learners cannot be overstated. Harnessing the potential of information communication and technology
to reduce inequalities in education and support education inclusion through meeting meeting individual
learners specific needs .Policy should focus upon promoting the use of appropriate (ICT) as a tool for
improving access to the curriculum goals supporting the transition from school to employments through
clear legislation and policy measures that encourages the direct involvements and close cooperation of
the learners ,their family and school ,the labor markets and all parties concerned

Areas for future policy developments. These areas of inclusive education that requires attention are .The
tension between the need for the school to demonstrate increasing academic achievements and the
position of the learners with (SEN) in terms of added values needed to be fully considered .Systematic
monitoring and evaluation procedure need to be developed in general the issue of accountability needs
to be addressed within the frames work of special need education in inclusive and separate special
settings .Flexible frameworks of provisions that supports inclusive education must be applied to all
sectors of education provision The inclusion of learners with special needs within the secondary sector
,transition from school to employment phase, post compulsory and adult education needs to be given
the same degree of focus as within the pre-primary and primary sectors .A genuine commitments to
promoting inclusion in countries will be indicated by a decrease in the numbers of learners in fully
separated (segregated) provisions.
