About Us
The Department of Special Education (JPKhas) is responsible for promoting, implementing, and monitoring the Special Education Program in collaboration with schools and other relevant stakeholders. To strengthen the Special Education Program in the country, SpecialEducation (SEN) teachers will continue to be equipped with teaching skills, including digital teaching methods, particularly the Blended Learning approach. They will also create flexible learning environments, either in small groups (1:3) or individually (1:1), for students with special needs. 
 
This Special Education Program is based on the principle of 5A:

This goal can be realized through the management of four (4) key resources, namely:
