Otjozondjupa Region has highlighted a lack of special schools or resource centres in the region as a concern.
Otjozondjupa Regional Council Chairperson, Marlene Mbakera, says government schools are also not inclusive towards children with disabilities, resulting in them not completing school.
Mbakera, who is also the Otjiwarongo Constituency Councillor, says 540 children are receiving disability grants under the Ministry of Gender Equality and Child Welfare, but most of them are not in school due to a lack of facilities in the region.
