The government will reenact the Persons with Disability Act, 2006 (Act 715) and introduce a Legislative Instrument to ensure its full enforcement, Dr Clement Abas Apaak, the Deputy Minister of Education, said on Monday.
That would make disability inclusion a legal obligation for all institutions, he said at the commemoration of the National Day for Persons with Disability (PWDs) in Accra.
The programme, organised by the Ghana Federation of Persons with Disability (GFD), was on the theme: "Advancing Inclusion through Education." It also saw the honouring of individuals who have championed the rights of PWDs over the years.
Dr Apaak said the Government was collaborating with the private sector to effectively implement the five per cent employment quota for PWDs, urging private institutions to commit to employing at least five per cent of their competent workforce from the PWD community.
