Why Diploma in Special Education (Early Years)?

Why Study Diploma in Special Education (Early Years)

Special needs educators are very committed to working with children with special needs because they perceive their work as a meaningful career.

Better adaptability skills

Specialising in special education means you will learn various ways and techniques in supporting children.

Higher demand, pay and mobility for special educators

An increase in special needs and a shortage of special educators has translated into higher pay for them.

Every day is different, challenging but exciting

Every child with special needs is unique, a solution that is useful for one might not be useful for another.

Special Education in Malaysia

On 30th June 2023, the Education Ministry registered a total of 87,574 students under special needs education in Malaysia. The exposure to the importance of special needs education in Malaysia has significantly grown over the last two decades from the Ministry adopting “the least restrictive environment” to integrating inclusive classrooms.

What Our Graduates Say

Reuben Au

I love the journey to becoming a special needs educator. I am currently based in Sydney, studying for my Bachelor in Inclusive Education and Disability Studies. I got to know about inclusive education through my studies in Dika. Hopefully, when I return, I plan to start up a whole new generation of special educators that can develop and teach in an inclusive environment."
