Education Minister Dr Majid Al Nuaimi has affirmed that the education of children with special needs in Bahrain enjoys the full support of His Majesty King Hamad and His Royal Highness Prince Salman bin Hamad Al Khalifa, Crown Prince and Prime Minister.
He noted that many schools are delivering distinguished services to this segment.
Dr Al Nuaimi was speaking while patronising the foundation stone laying ceremony for the Awali National School, in the presence of Bahrain Society for Children with Behavioural and Communication Difficulties chairperson and Alia National School founder Dr Shaikha Rania bint Ali Al Khalifa as well as a number of ministry officials and the school’s board members.
He indicated that the ministry has provided all kinds of support to the Alia National School since its establishment in 2006, out of its belief in its important role in providing distinguished educational services to children with special needs.
The minister asserted that the establishment of the Awali National School confirms the kingdom’s continuous educational services to students with autism spectrum disorder, as many of them have been integrated into classes with their peers in government schools, and a class was recently opened for them in the intermediate stage.
He pointed out that the ministry provides its services to various categories of students with special needs at schools, including those with mild mental disabilities, Down syndrome and visual and hearing disabilities. He added that during the spread of the coronavirus pandemic, the ministry continued providing educational services to all students, including those with special needs, noting that more than 28,000 lessons have been delivered to them.
