Title |
Provision of Services to Special Needs Students in Quebec;s English-Language Public Schools
|
Abstract |
The authors note that between 2001 and 2016, Quebec’s English-language school boards reported that the number of students with special needs increased from 9,002 to 19,108 (a 112.3% increase), compared with a much lower increase in French-language schools, from 108,252 to 173,061 students (a 59.9% increase) over the same period of time. Quebec’s "Politique de l’adaptation scolaire" calls for the integration of special needs students into regular classes, since this is deemed beneficial to their success. In 2015-2016, the rate of integration was 88.1% in English-language public schools as opposed to 72.5% in the French-language sector. The authors conclude that evidence suggests that there should be a stronger support system available for students with special needs in English-language public schools.
