ABSTRACT
The study attempted to carry out a critical analysis on the challenges that affect the
education achievements of learners with special needs while trying to get themselves
acclimati zed with the regular school programmes where they are mixed with their
counterparts who do not have any disability at all. The study took Mikinduri zone,
Tigania District as a case study. Previous studies indicate that a number of challenges do
affect and make it hard for these learners to stay at school so as to satisfy their need to
attain basic education.
The researcher applied a purely quantitative research design in presenting and
interpreting the research findings. The technique of data collection used was mainly the
use of questionnaires forms that were addressed to the teachers in Jari bu primary school
where the research was conducted. Selection of the samples was based on a simple
Random sampling procedure so as to give all the respondents equal chances of
participating in the study.
Research findings revealed that the challenges that these learners face in regular schools
come from the relationship that exist between them and their teachers, peers, and the
general community as a whole and not forgetting the inadequate supply of learning aids
from the ministry of education.
The researcher has tried to come up with a number of measures to help improve the
learning needs as we ll as environments that learners with special needs do go through.
These include among others: the need for the government to dedicate e fforts towards
providing enough educational resources, the need to train more teachers in handli ng
learners with special needs, the need for the community to dedicate efforts towards
supporting learners with special needs among other recommendations.
