Abstract
This study took cognizance of the fact that the development of educational
programmes for the mentally handicapped have been hindered by several
factors. Awareness creation among the various stakeholders on these problems
would lead to the solutions with the aim of finally improving on these
programmes. The survey research method was used with three different
questionnaires as the tools for quantitative data collection. The number of
participants (respondents) were thirty out of which fifteen were special education
teachers, fourteen parents of the mentally handicapped children in Mwangaza
and Unity primary schools with special units and one Education Assessment
Resource Center (EARC) co-ordinator. The major research findings were that
there were only two units for the mentally handicapped in Kayole Zone. The
level of awareness about mentally handicapped by the community was found to
be still very low and facilities were not adequate. The research also revealed
that the need for training more special education teachers was necessary. The
core recommendations included the need to establish more special education
programmes and more awareness campaigns.
