The Special Assistant on Disabled Matters to Katsina State Governor, Umar Dikko Radda, Mr. Umar Jibril Bindawa, has called for enhanced inclusion of persons with disabilities (PWDs) in the state’s education system.
During an advocacy visit to the Commissioner of Basic and Secondary Education, Mrs. Hajiya Zainab Musa Musawa, on Wednesday, Bindawa stressed the importance of improving access to education for PWDs in Katsina, particularly in special boarding schools.
He also highlighted the challenges faced by inclusive primary schools in several local government areas (LGAs).
“We addressed key issues regarding the inclusion of people with disabilities, especially in our special boarding schools, and discussed the shortage of permanent teaching staff in inclusive schools across various LGAs,” Bindawa stated.
He expressed optimism following the meeting, revealing that the Commissioner had committed to addressing the concerns raised.
“The Honorable Commissioner has expressed her full commitment to improving inclusivity, employment, and empowerment opportunities for people with disabilities,” he said.
Bindawa also noted that resolving the shortage of teaching staff in inclusive schools would further strengthen efforts to foster a more equitable education system for all, especially students with disabilities.
In recognition of her outstanding contributions to the development of education in Katsina State, Bindawa presented an award to Mrs. Yar’adua, commending her dedication to improving the state’s educational system.
