There is also no transport for people with disabilities to travel to education institutions and even to government events that are hosted by the Department of Education. . In spite of the fact that Further Education and Training (FET) colleges are funded by Government, they do not accommodate people with disabilities. .

The visually impaired cannot study mathematics and science because educational institutions do not have assistive devices, therefore people with disabilities will always be trapped in a vicious cycle of poverty. .
