ACTIVITY 1:
If you were a policy maker, what policies would you propose for learners with
disabilities, giftedness and talents? Write a short persuasive essay regarding your
proposed policies. Indicate your rationale for proposing such policies and provide
support from literature.

As a policy maker I have my power to create and bring change in the field of
education. As a policy maker you are able to think what’s for the best. We know that
education really matter here in our country. As a policy maker I need to consider many
things. People deserves education no matter who you are, you deserved it. All people have
their capabilities, strength, and power and that can able to showcase in education.
As you observe in our country there were a lot of policies and laws regarding in
education that helps person with disabilities, giftedness, and talents. As a policy maker I
want to establish a policy that helps children with special needs or person with disabilities
especially those children that lives in far places like in the mountains who don’t have the
proper education. This policy will be called the Policy to Support Children to Proper
Education (PSCPEd). This policy provides to every teacher and students the resources that
they need. This can be a 2 in 1, a policy and a project. Senate Bill 1414: Bill of the Inclusive
Education for Children and Youth with Special Needs, has been put forth in the Philippine
Congress. This is in response to the growing number of students with disạbilities, giftedness,
and talents in the Philippines, whereas there is a lack of access to centers and institutions
that provide them with special education and cater to their different needs. The main goal
of the bill is to provide every Filipino child and youth with access to inclusive education, as
well as the appropriate resources, materials, and equipment they need. It is an issue
nowadays that government have no intended budget for next year 2023 for the special
education. I have watched documentaries that children who lives in far places choose to
not study because of their condition but we have kind hearted teachers who volunteered
and choose to teach them even the salary is not enough. They go to their places just to
teach them. Sometimes they spent money coming from their own pockets. This policy can
able to help both teachers and students to meet their needs. At least we can give
assurance to them that they are not alone for that fight but they have the foundation and
support to help them alleviate and the same for the giftedness and talents, this PSCPEd will
help to meet their needs. Giftedness and talents children can be wonderful as they learn so
much things in this world. Not all children can attend SPED centers or any schools because
of their location. It is better bringing to them the education. Everything is in this world, rights
and education.
In life education can be a source of light to our path. So let’s give it to them because
that’s fulfillment, let us give children the chance and opportunity to enjoy the world and not
just to suffer to with their conditions. I know that we can still make special education better
as we work together and respect each other we can really unite and achieve quality
education.
