Chief David Attah Memorial Special Needs School, Igumale, and Okanga’s Commitment to Inclusive Education.
Chief Phillip Agbese believes that all people should have access to high-quality education. Everyone has the right to both physical and mental education regardless of the difficulties or hardships life may throw at them. When you educate a child, you educate a nation and an educated nation is a wise nation. This idea served as the foundation for Chief Philip Agbese’s establishment of the Chief David Attah Memorial Special Needs School in Igumale.
A Special Needs School sometimes referred to as a Special Education School, is a facility created especially to meet the special needs of students with disabilities. These needs can be behavioural, emotional, physical, or cognitive, and they can include conditions like dyslexia, autism, Down syndrome, hearing or vision impairments, speech and language disorders, or physical disabilities.
A range of services and programs are provided by Special Needs Schools to accommodate each student’s unique learning needs. Specialized teachers, therapists and support personnel are employed by these institutions; they are trained to handle the unique difficulties and learning preferences of children with special needs.
Okanga is a selfless, visionary, and caring leader as evidenced by his dedication to creating a special needs school. He has acted decisively to enhance the lives of children with disabilities and acknowledges the significance of inclusive education. This project demonstrates a strong desire to support those in need and give back to the community.
Chief Philip Agbese did not simply identify a problem but also took the initiative to create a solution that showcased a proactive and results-oriented approach. He exhibits a profound comprehension of the importance of inclusivity and the necessity of providing children with disabilities with specialized education.
As a true pioneer, Chief Philip Agbese is leading ahead of his contemporaries. He is a living example of inclusive leadership as he shows genuine concern for his people and a dedication to easing their suffering. Enone is in good hands under Okanga’s leadership.
