[BCM] [MINDS] [E3] [BIA] [T2] [CBF] [3] Special Education, Training, and Development Programmes

CBF-3 Special Education, Training, and Development Programmes

The effective delivery of special education, training, and development programmes is central to MINDS’ mission of empowering individuals with intellectual disabilities. The ability to continue these programmes uninterrupted directly affects students’ learning outcomes, social development, and vocational readiness.

This chapter analyses the impact over time for each Sub-Critical Business Function (Sub-CBF) under CBF-3.

The analysis evaluates how disruption at different durations—from 4 hours up to 60 days—affects operational continuity, service delivery, and stakeholder wellbeing.

Impact is scored on a scale of 1 to 5, with 1 representing minimal impact and 5 representing severe impact.

The chapter also identifies Recovery Time Objectives (RTO), Maximum Tolerable Periods of Disruption (MTPD), and Vulnerable Periods to support contingency planning and business continuity measures.

Part 3: Impact Over Time of Business Functions Scale

Impact Scale:

1 = Very Low - Minimal impact

2 = Low -Low impact

3 = Medium - Moderate impact

4 =High -  High impact

5 = Very High - Severe / intolerable impact

Table P3: Impact Over Time of Business Functions for CBF-1

CBF-3 Special Education, Training, and Development Programmes are highly sensitive to operational disruptions.

Certain functions, such as Special Education Delivery (3.1) and Assessment & Progress Monitoring (3.7), have immediate high impacts even within a few hours, reflecting their centrality to student outcomes.

Other Sub-CBFs, like Parent and Caregiver Engagement (3.9), show a slower buildup in impact but remain crucial for long-term continuity and stakeholder trust.

This impact-over-time analysis allows MINDS to prioritize recovery strategies, allocate resources effectively, and ensure that students’ learning, independence, and wellbeing continue with minimal disruption, even under adverse conditions.

These supporting systems facilitate learning management, student monitoring, personalised learning plans, vocational training, and communication with caregivers and stakeholders.

This chapter provides an overview of the key IT systems and applications, recovery point objectives (RPO), system recovery time objectives (System RTO), and special equipment or resources supporting each Sub-CBF under CBF-3.

By understanding the dependencies and recovery requirements of these systems, MINDS can strengthen its business continuity planning, ensuring minimal disruption to student learning and staff operations in case of IT or equipment failure.

Table P4: Supporting IT Systems and Applications for CBF-3

The smooth operation of CBF-3 Special Education, Training, and Development Programmes relies not only on personnel and curriculum but also on robust IT systems and specialised equipment.

Disruption to these systems can directly impact student learning outcomes, staff performance, and stakeholder engagement.

By clearly identifying critical IT systems, recovery objectives, and supporting equipment, MINDS can prioritise resources, establish contingency plans, and maintain continuity of services, ensuring that students continue to receive high-quality education and development support even during IT disruptions or equipment failure.
