Parents and guardians who have physically challenged children in their homes have been urged to take their children to school instead of hiding them.
These were the sentiments of Wesley Mosop, the secretary of the Disability Awareness and Information Network.
Speaking to Education News at Psigirio Village after attending a cattle dip meeting, Mosop pleaded with the parents to bring the children out of their hideouts so that they can be supported.
‘’I plead with you parents and guardians to fully educate the physically challenged children instead of hiding them at homes. Once educated and supported they will be of great help to the nation and the society,’’ Mosop said.
