Abstract

Education of the handicapped became the responsibility of Zambia's Ministry of Education in 1971. During the last twenty years, special education provision has grown at a very significant rate. Of particular significance in the Zambian system is the regard for teacher-based assessment and the principle of parent partnership in developing special educational programmes.
