| Abstract: | No system of special education exists in a vacuum. The framework of the general education system as well as the economic, social and political conditions and ideologies determine to a great extent its existence, form and content. In Zambia the political ideology is auspicious for the development of educational services for the handicapped. The involvement of the Swedish International Development Agency has resulted in major steps being taken to establish the administrative infrastructure and teacher training. The Zambia National Campaign to Reach Disabled Children has identified a number of severely handicapped children. The moment of birth of special education has arrived in Zambia. |
