IBP School of Special Education Division

Effective 1990, a non-profit division of IBP, "School of Special Education” was established.

It now caters for the educational, psychological, vocational, therapeutic needs of over 350 slow learners & mentally challenged individuals.

From its inception, the school has followed the following principles:

-	Quality education for all, irrespective of gender, race or religion. Offers need based financial assistance.
-	A refusal to reject any student on the basis of financial issues.
-	A refusal to expel any student because of the difficulty of his condition.
-	A minimization of the use of medication to control behavior.
-	A desire to make every student socially, and financially independent.

75% of its students are offered freeships & need based scholarships.
140 students are on our admission waiting list.

However, in our efforts to provide ‘excellence in education’ and maximum charity, IBP School needs to continue receiving financial support through donations, sponsorships, zakat and other fund raising activities.

Our Team: we have handpicked our team based not only on qualifications & experience, but also on a passion to excel.

Our team comprises of skilled & experienced professionals with in-depth knowledge of human growth & development, with specific emphasis on the social, emotional & psychological effect on the student.

Services Offered:

Our services can be broadly divided into 3 categories:
Academic services.

Academic services:

The focus of the academic services is to enable the higher functioning students to achieve literacy in one language, and sufficient mathematical skills to handle their personal finances.

For the lower functioning students, the focus is to enable them to become socially independent, and to be able to look after their own self-help needs.
