In realizing the aspirations of the National Education Philosophy and the Malaysian Education Development Plan (2013-2025), various transformational initiatives have been designed and implemented by the Malaysian Ministry of Education to provide quality and relevant educational opportunities for all students including students with special needs. This article outlines the concept of learning, challenges and the role of teachers in increasing learning motivation as well as suggestions for increasing the interest of students with special educational needs (SEN) to learn. The teachers' ability to increase the student's learning motivation will allow the students to well follow teaching and learning process and achieve good achievements in academics and manage daily activities perfectly. Therefore, Special Education teachers need to prepare themselves with various skills, knowledge and expertise in improving students with special needs so that they can help them in increasing their motivation of learning.
