Overview

The Special Educational Needs and Inclusion Conference (SENICON) is a gathering of inclusive education stakeholders convened by Basirat Razaq-Shuaib on behalf of The Winford Centre for Children and Women. The cross-cutting nature of disabilities with other barriers to inclusive education requires additional attention to be paid to ensuring that more children with disabilities and neurodiversity are able to access education and participate fully in learning.

With the global education focus shifting to inclusive mainstream education for all learners, and the current reshaping of the future of learning, there is an increasing need to navigate the journey to inclusive education in Nigeria given the other constraints currently experienced in the education sector and in the country as a whole. This conference is a platform for policymakers, practitioners and beneficiaries to explore innovative and sustainable ways of supporting learners with special education needs going into the future.

The Special Educational Needs and Inclusion Conference (SENICON) will provide:

  • Unique insights into how mainstream and special schools can be better equipped to meet the challenges posed by recent trends (including the COVID-19 pandemic) as well as maximise attainment and outcomes for learners with special education needs.
  • Latest updates on the best inclusive education practices from countries with similar socio-economic conditions as Nigeria.
  • Vital information and advice on provisions within the current education framework for supporting learners with special education needs.
  • Critical answers on how the government can leverage the work of NGOs and the third sector to accelerate access to inclusive education.
  • Guidance to school owners and head-teachers on the next steps towards becoming inclusive.

The conference will feature keynote speeches, engaging panel discussions and presentations to bridge the gap between policy and practice. Attendees will benefit from gaining insights on best practices for ensuring inclusive education for the under-served and excluded. Private sector organisations will identify areas of focus for CSR and investment.
