The Minister of State for Education, Mr Emeka Nwajiuba, has said that government will provide special materials for the visually and hearing impaired students at its special school for persons living with disability in Oyo town, Oyo State.
Nwajiuba disclosed this at the Presidential Task Force on COVID-19 daily news briefing in Abuja. He however said there was no special provision made for other persons living with disability. He said such students would use the same avenue provided for others to take their online classes.
“The visually and hearing impaired are both special, but for others, we have to use the same avenue to teach them,” he said.
Recall that Nigeria’s Education Minister, Mallam Adamu Adamu, has directed online migration of schools as a means of proffering solutions to the challenges posed to the nation’s school calendar due to closure over COVID-19

As a result, the Federal Ministry of Education has partnered two e-learning platforms; schoolgate.ng and mobileclassroom.com.ng, to provide data-free access to educational content for primary and secondary school pupils forced to stay at home because of the COVID-19 pandemic. Also, various radio and Television programmes were put in place for students without access to online facilities.
