ABSTRACT
This study focused on the Assessment of the Educational Facilities for the Physically Challenged in Nigeria using Kaduna State as a case study. Five research objectives were formulated. The objectives include: assessing government commitment on enrolling disabled persons into inclusive education, provision of infrastructural facilities, provision of instructional facilities, quality and commitments of teachers and supervisors and welfare services for teachers and students in the rehabilitation centres in Kaduna State. Also, research questions and research hypotheses were formulated in line with the objectives of the study. Descriptive survey research design was used for the study and data were collected using constructed questionnaire which was prepared and validated by expert in curriculum and instruction. The population of the study involved 142 teachers, 93 supervisors and 73 physically challenged rehabilitation centre officials. However, a total of 90 teachers, 60 supervisors and 45 DRC officials were served as a sample of study. The reliability coefficient was obtained at 0.79 using Cronbach's Alpha statistical technique. The data collected were analyzed using frequency counts, descriptive mean and standard deviation. The formulated hypotheses of the research were tested using nonparametric Kruskal-Wallis statistical (Chi-Square X2 ) at 0.05 level of significance. The findings of the study among others revealed that There is a significant difference in the opinions of respondents on the government commitment in enrolment of physically challenged persons at rehabilitation centres in Kaduna State (p-value of .002< 0.05 sig. level; and X2 cal.-value of 7.516 > X2 crit.-value of 1.7749 at 191 codefendants). There is no significant difference in the opinions of stakeholders on the provision of infrastructural facilities for physically challenged education programme in Kaduna State (p-value of .389> 0.05 sig. level; and X2 cal-value of 1.416 < X2 crit.-value of 1.7749 at 191 codefendants). In respect of the findings, it was recommended that government in collaboration with NGOs and parents should intensify effort and commitments toward enrolling physically challenged persons into inclusive education through regular sensitization and mentoring. Not only provision of adequate infrastructural and instructional facilities, rather ensuring effective utilization of the facilities by training teachers and learners how to appropriately use the facilities for effective teaching and learning process. Also the available qualified and committed teachers and supervisors should be regularly re-trained through workshops, seminars, in-service training and so forth to improve their skills and competency for the realization of well sound physically challenged education programme in the state. More efforts should be intensified in motivating both teachers and students through incentive welfare services such as freeinterest loan and hazard allowances for teachers as well as provision of capital to start small scale business for physically challenged students in Kaduna State.
