Quezon City has joined the call for the immediate passage of a Senate Bill instituting inclusive education and establishment of special education or SPED centers for children and youth with special needs in all public schools in the country.

Resolution 6954, principally authored by Councilor Roger Juan, cited Quezon City’s move as necessary to provide persons with disabilities and students with special challenges equal access to quality education.

“The city government recognizes the establishment of SPED centers to ultimately attain the integration of special education for children and youth with disabilities in our public educational system,” the resolution said.

Senate Bill 996, filed by Senator Sherwin Gatchalian, seeks to provide quality education to Filipino children with special needs, and build upon the existing infrastructure of its national public system by establishing Special Education centers in all public schools nationwide.
