THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT THE INSPECTORATE UNIT IN THE TECHNICAL EDUCATION DIVISION IS SETTING OUT TO ACHIEVE BY INTEGRATING THE HANDICAPPED INTO THE TECHNICAL INSTITUTES.
ABOUT 100 PLACES WILL BE OFFERED TO THE HANDICAPPED IN THE ACADEMIC YEAR 1979-80 WITH 50 OF THESE AVAILABLE AT THE LEE WAI LEE TECHNICAL INSTITUTE WHEN IT OPENS IN SEPTEMBER.
MEANWHILE, STAFF FROM THE UNIT HAVE BEEN VISITING VARIOUS SPECIAL SCHOOLS FOR THE HANDICAPPED TO FAMILIARISE THE STUDENTS WITH THE MANY OPPORTUNITIES OF FURTHER ING THEIR STUDIES IN TECHNICAL INSTITUTES AFTER THEY GRADUATE.
THE UNIT'S ASSISTANCE TO HANDICAPPED STUDENTS DOES NOT END AFTER THE STUDENTS' ENTRY INTO THE INSTITUTES.
IN THE CASE OF SO-NGOR, ARRANGEMENT WAS MADE FOR A PERIPATETIC TEACHER FROM THE SPECIAL EDUCATION SECTION TO VISIT HER REGULARLY.
THE UNIT IS ALSO SEARCHING FOR WAYS TO FURTHER HELP DISABLED STUDENTS WHILE THEY ARE IN TECHNICAL INSTITUTES.
IT IS HOPED THAT WITH BETTER ORGANISED TECHNICAL TRAINING FACILITIES, HANDICAPPED PEOPLE WILL BE ABLE TO LEAD MORE SATISFYING AND INDEPENDENT LIVES AND. AT THE SAME TIME, MAKE A SIGNIFICANT CONTRIBUTION TO LOCAL COMMERCE AND INDUSTRY.
