Abstract

Free Primary Education (FPE) was meant to ensure that all children of school going age get quality and accessible basic education in the spirit of vision 2030 in Kenya. Unfortunately, children with mental disabilities hardly access basic quality education in this era of Free Primary Education. Learners with special needs are not fully included in regular classes because of a number of factors. In this piece, I purpose to discuss the dynamics involved in integrating of mentally challenged learners in regular public primary schools in Gucha South sub county, Kiisi-Kenya. The aim is to help in creating greater awareness on the need to improve on the access of education and improvement of academic performance of mentally challenged learners in and beyond Gucha South sub county among teachers, school administrators and other service providers. I further suggest the need for the ministry of education to lay emphasis on Individualized Educational Programme (IEP) and curriculum adaptation for better academic standards and results.
