More Resources Needed for Special Needs Children

Special needs children, though making progress, are still in need of additional resources to navigate learning environments following the Coronavirus, COVID-19 pandemic.

The ESP, a project under the Ministry of Labour and Social Security, is the only public special education centre in Jamaica catering to children under 7 years old. Watch the report for more details:
