| Abstract: | The paper examined equity of access to education and children with special needs. In doing so, salient issues such as some philosophical bases for education of children with special needs; concept of equity of access to education; how special education ensures equity of access to education for children with special needs; and ways to enhance equity of access to education for children with special needs were discussed. Re-visitation of special educational programmes in order to reposition the profession for richer and quality assurance in the service delivery system for special needs children was recommended among others. The paper concluded that equity of access to education by special needs children is a possibility if issues raised are considered for actions in the service provision and delivery of special education profession. |
