Shaping the Future of Special Needs Education!
Sri Eden is honoured to be invited by Yayasan PETRONAS , in collaboration with the Ministry of Education, Selangor’s Special Education Needs Unit, to a Co-Creation Workshop on Special Education Needs Programme, aimed at designing a new pilot program for Years 1-3. This program is set to launch in schools across Selangor, Johor, and Sabah.
Alongside dedicated officers, special education teachers, and representatives from NGOs for Down’s Syndrome, Dyslexia, Autism, and learning difficulties, we brainstormed pressing challenges, identified critical needs, and outlined actionable programs for immediate and long-term improvements.
With the current system facing issues like overcrowded classrooms (one teacher to as high as 15 students) and a shortage of adequately trained, passionate educators, change is essential. Together, we aspire to create a more effective, inclusive educational experience for special needs students in government schools.
To end the session, all participants were invited to the Link Bridge on Petronas Twin Towers to have a view of the surrounding landscape.
