Integration in Progress: Pupils with special needs in mainstream schools

How are pupils with special educational needs being educated in mainstream schools?

Has the provision been affected by external factors such as

  • pressures on resources?
  • competition between schools?
  • parental choice?

An NFER project was funded by the Local Education Authorities to investigate the position for pupils with special needs in mainstream schools in the mid-1990s and information and views were sought from LEA representatives, staff in mainstream secondary schools and a number of pupils and parents.
