Making Schools Responsible for Students with Special Needs
Kategorie Projekt
Ausgangslage und Ziele
In recent decades, several initiatives of the Dutch government aimed to support regular schools in meeting their students' special educational needs (SEN). New policies such as Together to School Again or the Pupil-Bound Budget were developed and implemented. However, the effects of these policies have been somewhat disappointing. Regular schools still refer large numbers of SEN students to special schools. Similar experiences have been reported in other countries.
The Dutch government is currently considering new procedures and regulations that address, among other things, the regular school's responsibility for students with special needs. The basic idea is that the local regular school should be made responsible for all students in its catchment area, including students with SEN. Under this School's Duty to Care policy, schools in a region will be required to cooperate as a group. They will receive special needs funding in the form of a fixed lump sum.
