Central to this Plan is the universalisation of opportunities for quality education at all levels, right from pre-primary through to post-secondary education subsectors, and for the training sector. The drive is thus towards ensuring access to learning opportunities for all and fostering innovation and generating new knowledge for the socio-economic and sustainable development of the nation.

In line with government’s declared policy of inclusive education as a means to eradicate poverty, the targets set  by UNESCO and articulated in the Millenium Development Goals, MIE is systematically integrating aspects of special needs  education across all its teacher education programmes .   However, conscious of the need to strategically re-engineer teacher education to address more frontally failure at CPE, the Institute has, for the past years, synchronized and focused its efforts in the area of special needs through direct intervention at the school level, research and training.
