The Department of Special Education has launched a training program designed to help students with disabilities develop practical handicraft skills that foster self-reliance and economic independence. The initiative, according to a departmental spokesperson, will take place across multiple special education centers in the province, focusing on enhancing vocational capabilities and nurturing creativity through hands-on training in embroidery, stitching, pottery, and other traditional crafts.
Officials explained that this program is part of the government’s wider strategy to promote the inclusion of persons with disabilities in mainstream economic activities by providing them with employable skills and professional development opportunities. To further support these efforts, the department also plans to hold exhibitions to display the students’ handicrafts, enabling them to engage with potential buyers, artisans, and entrepreneurs to build sustainable livelihoods.
