Special Needs in a European prospect

A few weeks ago we had to prepare a presentation about how the special needs education system is in Belgium. Also the other students had to make a presentation about how they take in children with special needs in schools in the country were they live.
In Belgium we have special (need)schools for pupils who are mentally and physically weaker or disabled, who are blind or deaf, who have problems with learning or in their social behaviour, etc. But now these days we try to reduce the amount of students that are going to these schools, because we feel these students are segregated from the students who have a ‘normal’ (school)life. So now we are trying to include these students with special needs in the ‘normal’ education system. And we can do that by giving these ‘normal’ schools special help and adjustments. But we have to say we are still far away of including all the pupils with special needs in the ordinary school. Inclusion is still growing, it’s processing and we are hoping that it will succeed but therefore we personally think the government will to put more effort in this to make sure that the pressure doesn’t get to big for the teacher and the pupil.
We can also concluded from things we have seen and heard in the presentations of the others (other country’s) that they also have special schools and that they are also working on inclusion. And that we all deal with the same problems: pressure on the teacher, pressure on the child/pupil, will there be enough additional help and do we have the right tools the help the pupils with special needs. Conclusion: do we have the money and the right plan to succeed?
