ABSTRACT
The research was carried out in Mathira East zone, Mathira East district Kenya
with an aim of influencing on the academic capability of the mentally retarded in
inclusive in primary schools.
All relevant primary sources were visited in the process of gathering primary
information. A descriptive design was employed and in this case, questionnaires
and interview guides were used in the process of data collection.
The study findings revealed the following: that the majority of teachers they have
no special education training to enable them acquire skills to handle the mentally
challenged learners and that it is difficult to obtain resources for the learners with
mental retardation. The curriculum they use is not differentiated hence not
suitable for the mentally handicapped learners.
Recommendations were made which suggested that: Government policies on
special needs education be emphasized by the educational officers and provincial
administration within the zone that would help to achieve declaration of education
for all (EF A) and that schools had to be equipped with the facilities and resources
needed to handle learners with mental retardation.
