Irish education system not ready for 'full inclusion' 

In 2019, the NCSE recommended that the State should consider a move towards full inclusion, which would see all children educated together with the appropriate support in place. However, the proposals were met with concern from some parents, teachers, and boards of management. 

The Irish education system is not ready for ‘full inclusion’ which would see all children attend mainstream schools regardless of their level of disability.

That’s according to Teresa Griffin, the chief executive of the National Council for Special Education (NCSE).
