Region Five council discusses setting up special needs school

Councillors at last Thursday’s meeting

The Regional Democratic Council of Region Five is looking to have a special needs school set up in the region, so as to cater for the numerous persons living with disabilities.

A call was made for such an institution by APNU/AFC Councillor Abel Seetaram at the council’s statutory meeting on Thursday last and APNU/AFC councillor Carol Joseph suggested that it should be a special project and that the council should approach funding agencies to assist with financing.
