Joint Oireachtas Committee on Disability Matters
An Inclusive Education for an Inclusive Society: Discussion
Dr. Joanne Banks:
Further to a point the Senator made earlier, there is a difference between mainstream education and inclusive education. They are often confused. We are not calling for a ten-year plan so that there are more resources in the mainstream. We are calling for a root-and-branch focus on an inclusive model, that is, a whole-school approach to inclusion where it is everyone's responsibility to teach every child.
