5 pupils with special needs in Moyo girl’s primary school who registered under special interest group are sitting for the examination.

According to Asiali Rose Alba the head teacher of Moyo Girls primary school Annex for the blind, out of the 27 total registered candidates for PLE, five candidates registered under special needs who are already sitting for the papers. “We have registered five candidates for the primary living examination under special needs who are already sitting for the examinations” the head teacher disclosed. 
  
Ijoreya Betty Bore, the teacher in charge of special needs in Moyo girl’s primary school said a lot of attention was paid to the leaners with special needs. “At our school here, we prepare our children by giving them the examination that they are going to sit.  Not only that before the examination we give them remedial lessons” she noted

Bore added that after teaching them with the ordinary children in the main stream they are given extra lesson in the resource room.          

According to the schedule of UNEB, leaners under special needs education are given extra time according to Lowirigo James Addison the chairperson for Moyo district academic panel for primary schools. “For example Mathematics is two and a half hours.  For them they are given extra minutes so that  it will make them to finish the work which is assigned for them, for instance  brail work cannot  be read faster and using the machine takes time” James said.
