“As Minister for Education, Youth Affairs and Sports I am pleased with the progress that we have made in promoting inclusivity in our education system, but there is still much more to be done,” she said in a. statement released on November 27, 2023.
She said the construction of a new facility dedicated to the students of the Eslyn Henley Richiez Learning Centre is a clear demonstration of our government's unwavering commitment to providing a supportive and inclusive educational environment for every child, regardless of their unique abilities.”
“As a Ministry, we firmly believe that education should not be a one-size-fits-all concept, and every student deserves an environment that caters to their individual strengths, supports their challenges, and empowers them to reach their full potential,” Hon de Castro added.
She expressed appreciation to the teachers and support staff who dedicate themselves to the education of children with special needs and acknowledged their commitment to inclusivity and ability to see beyond the challenges to the immense possibilities within each student.
Bring more equal access to education - Hon de Castro
“Your work is an example of the transformative power of education, and your dedication serves as an inspiration to us all,” Hon de Castro added while also thanking parents.
Meanwhile, the Minister said that the strive continues for educational excellence, it is important to understand that a society's progress is measured by its ability to provide equal access to education for all individuals.
“Special education goes beyond catering to the needs of a specific group; it aims to create an environment where every student, regardless of their unique abilities, is equipped with the necessary tools to reach their full potential.
She said equity in education requires a commitment to fairness and means acknowledging and addressing the diverse needs of students where some may require additional support to overcome obstacles.
