Provision of Education to Learners with Disabilities: A Focus on the Roman Catholic Church in the Copperbelt Province
(KNU, 2020) MULENGA, Rodah
This study explored the provision of education to learners with disabilities by the Roman Catholic Church on the Copperbelt, Zambia. It aimed to examine the current policies, challenges, and effectiveness of the Church's special schools. Using a qualitative approach and purposive sampling, data was collected from 31 respondents, including church leaders, school heads, special education teachers, and learners. Findings revealed that the Church operates only three special schools in the region, which is insufficient given the population size. The study recommends increased government support, partnership promotion, and closer collaboration with teacher training institutions to improve educational access for disabled learners.
