Support to Special and Inclusive Schools

In compliance with the Special People’s Law 2011 and to ensure that the needs of students with disabilities e.g. children with sight impairment, hearing loss, physical disabilities etc, are well taken care of, the Lagos Eko Secondary Education Project initiated an additional grant based assistance to special and inclusive schools in 2012.
