Vukuzenzele Special School is one such example, which has been earmarked by the provincial department of education as a resource centre, with the added responsibilities of providing support to other schools within the district. The support that this school should provide to others includes providing them with access to specialist services. Being earmarked as a resource centre places the school at an advantage in that it has to receive additional resources from the department. The school has in the meantime employed a nurse aid. The school is implementing a programme which is intended to provide informal training to staff members of other schools in the area of special needs.
