The Special Education Unit (SEU)

The core unit was established in the Ministry of Education in January 1989. It is headed by an Assistant Chief Education Officer & has a complement of a Senior Officer, five Education Officers, an Administrative Assistant, a Secretary, a Shadow Administrator and a Graphic Technician. Across the seven regions of the MoESYI, the work of the SEU is conducted by Regional Special Needs Coordinators (RSNCOs) and Student Support Team members (SSTs). The SEU also operates a Braille & Large Print Programme which provides support to students at the primary level who are blind and visually impaired, through the reproduction of all PEP examinations and primary curriculum support materials in alternative formats of braille & large print.
