Special education: access and outflow

Dutch speaking chamber on September 10, 2024

The Court of Audit found that the number of students in special education has increased by almost 13% in four years. Flanders therefore has no evolution towards inclusive education. Because the number of students is increasing, there is a capacity shortage in special education, the size of which is insufficiently known by the government. The reports the centers for learning guidance draw up, giving students access to special education, do not sufficiently take into account the student's right to inclusive education.
