ABSTRACT

Transforming Special Needs Education Integrated
Program

Rosita binti Manas
School Improvement Partners (SIP+) Officer,

School Management Sector
Pasir Gudang District Education Office,

Malaysia.

Special Needs Education in Malaysia intends to provide educational opportunities for pupils with
various disabilities such as those with visual impaired, hearing impaired as well as children with
learning disabilities. To meet special educational needs of the individual children, Special Education
Division, Ministry of Education (MOE) has provided educational opportunities and facilities through
the following programmes which have been upgraded since 1990;

 Special Needs School (which focusses on students who are visually and hearing impaired)
 Special Needs Education Integrated Programme (Primary and Secondary Level)
 Secondary Vocational School for Special Needs
 Inclusive Education for Special Needs
 Early Intervention Programmes (Pre-primary education)

The main aim of special education integrated programme is to ensure that students with special
needs can learn in a least restrictive environment. The curriculum is designed to enable the
students to learn in a normal learning environment and enhance social integration between
children with special needs and their mainstream peers in as many school activities as possible.
Thus, they will also be able to develop their social and communication skills effectively.

Leading schools with Special Needs Integrated Programme is rewarding and at the same time very
challenging. As leaders, teachers and managers, how we allign and strategise in order to maximise
the potentials of all the school’s personnels ; administrators, teachers, students, school support
staff, stakeholders and the community towards achieving quality education for the special needs
students are vital. What are the Transition Programmes designed to enhance the students’ skills to
prepare them for future career once they leave school at the age of 19? How can leaders overcome
hurdles and challenges in providing materials, work space and teachers for the skill programmes in
a normal day school.

As the former principal of Taman Daya Secondary School, a normal day school, where we run
Integrated Programmes for Special Needs Students, I will be highlighting the approaches taken and
how skills-based programmes are managed and carried out for students with special needs. I will
also highlight the achievements of the students and the positive outcomes of the programmes that
we carried out not only to the special needs students but to other teachers and students in the main
stream.

ABSTRACT

Building Confidence Through Internship

Iimori Tatsuya, PhD
Senior Assistant,

Iruma Wakakusa Special Needs High School,
Saitama, Japan.

Iruma Wakakusa High School for Special Needs Education (Iruma, Saitama, Japan) is
a state-run, 3-year school for the mentally challenged. Founded in 2016, the school
comprises two courses: regular and vocational. The 170 students (age 15-18) of the
vocational course belong to one of the vocational programs: bakery, farming, office
work, cleaning, etc. The course also has an internship program through which students
gain experience in settings, namely private companies.

The internship program plays an important role in cultivating occupational
awareness among students. Pre-and post-internship activities are planned to make
internship an ongoing learning process based on a PDCA (Plan, Do, Check, Act) cycle.
Teachers make sure students learn both from both successes and from failures.
Overtime students learn to understand their aptitude, gaining confidence. The duration
of an internship varies from 3 days to 15 days. Students do their internship 2 to 3 times
a year, 6 to 8 times in total, on average. Internship sites are carefully chosen based on
parent questionnaires, the student’s own plan, feedback from the previous internship,
ease of access, etc.

Career guidance specialists play an extensive role in managing the internship
program. Prior to planning an internship, they visit companies to meet people and see
the environment, which is crucial in making a good match between a student and a
workplace. Career guidance specialists take the initiative in planning events and
activities related to occupational awareness. They make sure the program is beneficial
for companies, too. Workers learn to communicate and collaborate with mentally
challenged interns. The internship program has been facilitating openness to diversity
in the companies and in the community as a whole.

Although the pandemic affected the internship program, approximately 85
percent of the graduating students will get a job in private enterprises and start working
this April.

The Reality of Home-Based Learning during COVID-19 pandemic:
Roles of Parents, Teachers, and School Administration in
Pasir Gudang

In achieving the goals of the six aspirations of students through the Malaysian Education
Development Plan (PPPM) 2013-2025, the teaching and learning process is the key pillar
of education. This need is supported by school transformation programs whose goal is to
achieve quality students and schools. However, the implementation of curriculum and
assessment in special education in Malaysia still faces various issues and challenges.
This challenge is exacerbated when special education in Malaysia faces Covid-19
pendemic, which forces teachers to change conventional learning styles to digital and
home-based learning. Therefore, stakeholders need to play a role in ensuring the direction
of special needs students is achieved. Currently, the main target in special education is
to enable students with special needs to learn together in mainstream or inclusive
education streams and increase the marketability value of special needs after graduation.
This study is in the form of a survey with a quantitative approach. Questionnaire
instruments were used for the purpose of obtaining data. Leadership, teacher, parent and
student issues are still relevant in achieving student aspirations. But in home-based
learing teachers and parent are the dominant factor in most factors that lead to pedagogy.
Therefore, these issues and challenges need to be addressed collectively and
collaboratively to drive the development of student with special needs effectively and
efficiently.
