Parents whose children are faced with learning challenges can now have a sigh of relief as special school for special needs education berths in Lagos.

In spite of the promulgation of section 8 of the National Policy on Education which states that children with special needs education should be attended to, many public and private educators are yet to fill in this gap.

The policy describes special needs education in Nigeria as “a customized educational program that is designed to meet the unique needs of persons with special needs that the general education program cannot cater for”


However, in the last couple of years, special needs education has gained more exposure in Nigeria, with schools such as Greensprings School standing at the forefront of promoting inclusive education and providing appropriate support for children with special needs.

Speaking in this regard, the Executive Director, Greensprings Schools, Mrs Lai Koiki reiterated her commitment to ensure that the institution works toward full actualisation of National Policy on Education.
