3. To provide the framework and education for all partners in creating collaborative synergy among schools, corporations, NGOs, government and community.
Without doubt the Conference managed to bring up a lively discussion on the inter dependency of the four drivers which are Education, Networking, Industry Collaboration and Community Development for the Special Education. More than 300 participants which made up of all members of stake holders were present.
We believed that most of the participants of SEC2018 has benefited substantially from the discussions, which would translate into positive benefits to the people with special needs in the enhancement of their participation in the society.
