Wamundila says society must desist from negative approach towards the disabled because this hampers the right for a child to mature into a productive adult who can equally perform some duties just like an able-bodied individual.
A representative from the Ministry of General Education Dr. Mwenya Mwamba has challenged the teaching fraternity to embrace people with disabilities and avoid running into a future that has marginalized citizens.
