successfully completed. Learning will occur on and off-the-job. Off-the-job
learning will occur in the college and the community.

who have experienced learning difficulties. It is recommended that there
should be 10-12 participants in each program.
It is essential that teachers and administrators understand the social and
educational background of the students for whom the course has been designed.
It is expected that teachers in this program would have a background in working
with students with a disability or recognise and accommodate the learning needs
of the students.
