Learners with disabilities have used the 98th Kenya Music Festival national edition to champion inclusive education.
Through music, elocution and dance the performers are calling for greater investment in assistive technologies, accessible learning environments and equal opportunities that will enable them to fully participate in education and society.
The festival, which has placed Special Needs Education (SNE) at the heart of this year's celebrations, has become more than a platform for artistic competition.
