AMMAN — A decision by the
Civil Service Bureau (CSB) to prevent the secondment of government officials to voluntary and
non-profit agencies deprived more than 200 students with disabilities of their
education as a result of the withdrawal by the Ministry of Education of
teachers assigned to associations providing educational services, Al-Ghad
Reported.

The
Higher Council for the Rights of Persons with
Disabilities asked the Council of Ministers and the Civil Service Bureau to
exclude associations that provide education to students with disabilities,
including those with cerebral palsy, motor, and mental disabilities, and to
re-assign teachers who were withdrawn at the beginning of the second semester.
Director of the Civil Service Bureau Sameh Al-Nasser
said that the decision to suspend the secondment of government officials to
voluntary and non-profit societies and associations followed the monitoring of
cases of abuse, while stressing on the partnership between the bureau and the
council to empower and support persons and students with disabilities.
Secretary General of the council Muhanad Ezzah said
that the decision to suspend the assignment of teachers has affected three
associations that provide education to students with disabilities, expecting
the number of students affected by the resolution to be over 200, including 80
at the Cerebral Palsy Society.
Ezzah noted that the problem is not only the
withdrawal of teachers, and thus the cessation of education, but also the fact
that such teachers are experienced and specialized in dealing with the needs of
students in accordance with their disability.
He expressed the hope that the problem would be
resolved and that those associations would be formally excluded from the bureau’s
decision as soon as possible.
Ebni (my child) campaign to defend the rights of
people with disabilities called on the government to exclude the cerebral palsy
schools from its decision.
The campaign stressed the importance of the continued
operation of the Cerebral Palsy School, which has branches in Amman, Kerak and
Aqaba and provides services to more than 80 students with cerebral palsy.
