CHAPTER ONE
INTRODUCTION
BACKGROUND
OF THE STUDY
There have
been several criticisms about Nigerian education, among which, according to Mba
(2005), is its failure to take account of individual differences among learners
into consideration. The need to consider individual differences is not
unconnected with the fact that children do not develop the same way. For
instance, while some may be tall and thin, others may be short and fat. These
and many others are just examples of differences in children’s physical
development. There are also some differences in intelligence, emotional,
maturity and social development among children. Thus, we have the hearing
impaired children, the learning disabled, the gifted, the talented, the
mentally retarded and host of others. These children and youths with variations
in their total development are those for with special education is meant to
take care of. According to Osakwe (2010), the school systems now face
increasing pressure to raise standards, develop social and personal skills,
broaden curricula, pay greater attention to equal educational opportunities and
prepare young people for rapidly changing world. Invariably, the modern trend
all over the world is shifting towards addressing the educational plights of
students with one form of disabilities or the other so as to better their life.
The rationale behind this is contingent upon the fact that people with
disabilities too have invaluable roles to play in national development, and to
be able to do this effectively and meaningfully, their education needs to be
given proper attention. This paper therefore sets out to explore some of the
challenges facing the education of students with disabilities as well as the
policy implications these challenges have towards improving the lives of
students with disabilities.
The
handicapped children are gifted children who have ability to be educated
irrespective of their disabilities, like the deaf, the blind, the dumb, lame
etc. therefore, the handicapped children in Nigeria posses the talents and all
the aggregate of learning just like their counterparts at school. Education
which is a life provided for every individual, the physically handicapped
inclusive. The team can be viewed in many ways mainly psychological and
maladjustment.
An
handicapped child is a child that lacks something that made him/her incapable
of living like other children, it could be the hands, legs, eyes, ear etc in
everyday life, the term handicap is often used to signify a physical defect,
limb, paralysis, partial or total blindness etc. all these features renders the
child incapable of living in quite same ways as the normally endowed.
The term
handicapped, when used in a wider sense, include intellectual disabilities and
disadvantages which are cause learning hardship. In the light of the above
discussion, the study will look into the various learning hardship likely to be
faced by the handicapped child in school. Previous researchers have revealed
that behaviours are judged in terms of the society existing standards,
therefore the ability of the handicapped can be under estimated by their
teacher because already they are termed that they cannot perform as well as the
naturally endowed pupils/students. This study will examine the various problems
facing the education of the handicaps ones.
Previous
researches have revealed that behaviour are judged in terms of the society,
existing standard, therefore, the ability of the handicapped can be under
estimated by their teacher because already they are termed or called “special
children” many assumed that they cannot perform as well as the naturally
endowed pupils/students. Some children are physically handicapped from birth,
other develop infirmities after accidents there are other children, who may not
have any physical abnormalities, but they might be abnormally short, fat with
jutting teeth, small and sunken eyes and several such features.
According to
Kirt (1976) physical handicapped child have problem of coordination, perception
and cognition (as well as mobility resulting from lack of proper development
of, or injury to the central nervous system. A lot of children that exhibit one
or a combination of these impairment go through the regular school programmes
undetected and unassisted, as such they fail to receive special educational
attention.
