treated and protecting them in any matters now.
Education Act of 1982 or Batas Pambansa Blg. 232
States that “the state shall promote the
right of every individual to relevant quality
education regardless of sex, age, breed,
socioeconomic status, physical and mental
condition, social and ethnic origin, political and
other affiliations. The State shall therefore
promote and maintain equality of access to
education as well as enjoyment of the benefits of
education by all its citizen.”
I am glad that they also have this kind of act.
Equality is the most important on us specially to
the people who needs care. They can do whatever
they want to eat, to work, to the places that they
want to go. So the community that they are
belonging will also be safe to them.

for PWDs and Senior Citizens Because in every corner we are not the one who is
suffering, its them the senior citizens and disabled
persons. Its more convenient for them if they have
their own places, just like in the public places.

R.A. 11228 (2019) Amendment of R.A. No. 7277 All
PWDs shall be automatically covered by the
National Health Insurance Program (NHIP) of
PhilHealth shall develop exclusive packages for
PWDs that will address their specific health and
development needs.
Of course, they have also needs in everyday.
Foods, maintenance, things to use in their body. Its
most helpful if they are always priority when it
comes to this kind of health insurance. Normal
people can make it without the help of others, but
for the disabled people they can’t because they
need to assist on writing, hearing and looking for
the things.

2. Compare and contrast the Philosophical and Historical foundations of Special and
Inclusive Education. Create your own design of the Venn Diagram.
Directed Assessment

Direction: Read each paragraph and explain what you would do and why.

1. As a teacher, a parent demanded that you take out the crucifix inside your classroom
because the religion they belong to does not believe in the crucifix. He insists that
his child is being taught the wrong values. How will you respond to the parent?

As a teacher, we truly understand about their stand and concerns about his
child. We will respect their decisions about their beliefs. We will talk in a
certain good way. I will explain that, it’s part of our learning to listen and be
curious on what is other things about. We have a different point of view in our
religion, but we cannot leave the side that we will not going to listen on other
side of religion. We are not forcing our children on what they will choose or
what they are going to do. In school the student is obligated to listen and
 accept the facts on different side of reality specially on this religion matter.
We are discussing of what they are needed to know but we are not interfering
to their decisions. Positive and respectful problem – solving can help you and
the teacher work towards a solution.

3. You plan a relay game for your class. While you are explaining the mechanics of the
game, one student raises her hand and says she can’t do a particular task in the
game because she has a prosthetic leg. How will you respond to this situation

As a teacher we should consider all the aspects or situation of the students.

Even they are normal or disabled person. In giving an activity in our class we
should have a many plans. In the situation above, of course we should
consider the disabled student in every activity . If they did not participate,
what grades are we going to compute to them. They need to participate for
them not to feel shy or afraid in crowded people. They should know how to
communicate to others student, they should not feel or think that they are
different to them. As I was saying it’s very effective if we have a plan A, plan B,
plan C, and so on. Her disability is not opposing on what she wants to do and
needed to do in her life. I should help her to encourage always in our
activities, don’t feel ashamed on her physical appearance. I should always
believe on their capability on what can she do.
