The 2017 Budget estimates retains the allocation of N500 billion to
the Special Intervention programme consisting of the Home - grown School Feeding Programme, Government Economic Empowerment programme, N - Power Job Creation Programme to provide loans for traders and artisans, Conditional Cash Transfers to the poorest families and the new Family Homes Fund (social housing scheme).
When implementing the allocation model to address the needs of students with
special educational needs, schools should adopt a whole - school approach to
programme planning and to the implementation of early -
intervention and prevention
programmes.
