  • Title: Inclusive education in Finland: present and future perspectives.
    Author: Moberg S, Zumberg M.
    Journal: Psychol Rep; 1994 Dec; 75(3 Pt 2):1519-22. PubMed ID: 7886174.
    Abstract:
    The movement to integrate special education students into normal school classes started to develop in Finland in the 1960s. At the same time, the number of students labeled "special" in the Finnish comprehensive school system exploded from 2% to 17% of all school children. Presently, 84% of all special education placements are part-time placements. Special schools and special classes comprise 15% of all special education placements, while full inclusion is only 1% of all special education placements. Some factors affecting the current integration of special students and the development of integration are discussed.
