Why Diploma in Special Education?

Higher demand, pay and mobility for special educators

Special educators who are more capable of educating a more diverse group of students have a competitive advantage over general education teachers. In 2019, the Malaysian government introduced the “Zero Reject” policy, a proactive initiative to meet the Malaysia Education Blueprint (2013-2025)[8] where no schools are allowed to turn away students with special needs. The increase in students with special needs has resulted in an increased demand for special educators and the shortage of special educators globally has translated into higher pay for them.

Programme Learning Outcomes

At the end of this course, students will be equipped with the know-how and skills to help children of different ages who have a range of special needs to progress beyond their limitations and achieve their highest potential in an inclusive and / or segregated setting.
