- Abstract
- For quite a long time, students living with intellectual disabilities were denied the opportunity to access quality and efficient education due to discrimination and stigmatisation that is associated with mental disabilities in most African societies and third world countries. However, due to the Declaration of human rights, all children deserve a shot at education despite their incapability. This study sought to analyse the efficacy of the services provided by the Ministry of Primary and Secondary Education to learners with Intellectual challenges. A case study of Ratidzo School in Masvingo. Its objectives were to find out the rights and needs of students with intellectual challenges, to list services made available by the Ministry of Education and to analyse the efficacy of services offered by MOPSE to learners with Intellectual Challenges. The population of the study was made of students with intellectual disabilities from Ratidzo school and the key informants from Ratidzo school. Data was collected and analysed using the qualitative research method. Findings from the study indicated that the Ministry of Education provides a variety of services which learners with mental challenges benefit from and the government of Zimbabwe has managed to cover a gap in the education system as it has shown great improvements in special needs education. However, the Ministry of Education sometimes gets confronted by different challenges which affect their service delivery. The study thus came up with a number of recommendations to the Ministry of Education of Zimbabwe to improve these challenge with the major recommendations being educating the society about intellectual disabilities for it to be more accepted in the society
