Special education is important to teachers because one has to be qualified to work with these types of students. They have to know how to work with and understand students with disabilities and special needs; general education teachers are not able or qualified to do this.
The sociology of education helps teachers understand how social factors influence education outcomes. For secondary school teachers in Zambia, this knowledge can inform their teaching practices, help them address inequalities in education, and tailor their approaches to better meet the needs of diverse student populations. By understanding sociological concepts, teachers can create more inclusive and effective learning environments for their students in Zambia.
