Dealing with School Segregation

Abstract

The agencies of the state have the responsibility of providing equal opportunities to all students. However, the phenomenon of School Segregation hinders the opportunities and the potential of many students with special needs, violating fundamental educational and basic pedagogical principles. In our bibliographic study we examine the ways of dealing with this phenomenon through school integration by means of inclusion and co-taught support programs with an assistant teacher, inclusion classes, and special schools. The importance of co-education lies on the fact that it is deemed essential in limiting the negative social repercussions of School Segregation known to us as the social exclusion of the students with special educational needs (SEN) and disabilities. That being said, we will also propose measures that can be taken in order to optimize the efficiency of the aforementioned means as well as make suggestions on how the educational principles can be upheld.
