There is no special arrangement for physically-challenged pupils to continue their learning at home during the Coronavirus pandemic, the Federal Government has said.
It said that besides the visually-impaired pupils, who were given braille materials at home, and the hearing-impaired pupils, who had sign language interpreters during television learning, other pupils with a form of physical limitation would have to make use of the online resources made available by the Federal Ministry of Education.

Minister of state for Education Emeka Nwajiuba stated this yesterday while responding to questions at the daily briefing by the Presidential Task Force on COVID-19 in Abuja.
He said almost all special pupils in the different categories would have to use the guidance they were given before the COVID-19 pandemic.
