Education official hopeful OECS strategy will cater to special needs

ST JOHN’S, Antigua – Director of Education Jacintha Pringle is hoping that the OECS Education Sector Strategy (OESS) to be launched here next week will include special provisions for children with special needs.
Speaking at the official launch of a week of activities to mark Special Education Week, Pringle said “adequate structures should be in place for students who fall in this category.
“Children who are having particular difficulties in one area or another must be given extra assistance or different lessons to help them to succeed,” the director of education said.
