the law of those with special needs
Level: university
Type: text books
Subject: special needs, legal aspect
Author: lubogo, christopher isaac
Often a number of questions are always posed on how the law treats the people with special needs, in the presence of equality provisions, it is absurd that there is still a wide lacuna to deal with people with special needs in our jurisprudence. Special Needs literally means a combination term referring to a wide range of conditions which causes a greater difficulty or restriction in a person’s learning at a normal pace and performance of daily life activities. Like the U.N puts it clear that “The ultimate goal is to achieve [disability] equality”1The ongoing argument succumbs its roots from the different categories of special needs which include autism, cerebral palsy, Down syndrome, dyslexia, dyscalculia, dyspraxia, dysgraphia, blindness, deafness, ADHD, and cystic fibrosis. Basically these individuals require assistance for “ disabilities” (not the right word) that may be medical, mental, or psychological. In the United States "special needs" is a legal term applying in foster care, derived from the language in the Adoption and Safe Families Act of 1997. It is a diagnosis used to classify children as needing "more" services than those children without special needs who are in the foster care system. It is a diagnosis based on behavior, childhood and family history, and is usually made by a health care professional.

Subject: education in educational psychology

This is a study whose aim was to establish the nature and causes of examination malpractices in selected secondary schools in Kitwe District. The Examination Council of Zambia has placed a high premium on examinations. Despite the high premium placed on examinations, examination malpractice are still on the increase. The aim of the study was to bring out the nature and causes of examination malpractice. A descriptive design was used. Data collection included the use of in- depth interviews with an education standards officer at DEBS office and school managers while focus group discussions were used for learners. Questionnaires were also used for teachers and learners. The sample for the study was one hundred and forty eight ( 148 ) which was disaggregated as follows; one hundred and twelve ( 112) grade twelve learners, twenty eight ( 28 ) teachers, seven ( 7 ) school managers and one ( 1 ) education standards officer ( ESO ) from Kitwe district. Quantitative data was analysed using the statistical package for social sciences (SPSS) while qualitative data was analysed thematically. The study revealed that the nature of examination malpractice includes; leakage, impersonation, taking foreign material into the examination room, collusion, body writing or tattooing, hiding material in washrooms, taking in already answered scripts and replacing them with the answer script given to them, giraffing and text messages and borrowing of stored material using cell phones. This study highlights the reasons for examination malpractice which includes learners desire to pass the examinations , lack of confidence, fear of failure, worry of failing to get a certificate, the emphasis on obtaining a certificate to get a job, improper guidance by teachers to face examinations, frequent absenteeism and laziness. Generally, the study revealed that both boys and girls engage themselves in examination malpractices because they all want to pass. Notably, both government and private schools engage themselves in examination malpractice. Furthermore, the study also revealed that learners from both high socio- economic background and low socio- economic background engage in examination malpractice. In order to address examination malpractice, it was recommended that schools should conduct intensified sensitisation to both teachers and learners. It was also recommended that the Ministry of Education, Science, Vocational Training and Early Education (MESVTEE) through the standards officers and school managers should intensify monitoring in order to ensure quality delivery of lessons so as to develop confidence in learners and also ensure that school based continuing professional development (SB- CPD) is enhanced so that teachers share knowledge on how to teach the seemingly challenging topics. This should be done to help learners understand what they are learning and in the end develop confidence for them to write examinations. The other recommendations included staff and student awareness campaigns and workshops to highlight the importance of the integrity of the education system and also to stiffen and enforce security policies.
