Ms Phil Fox:

Heretofore it was a mandatory element of the programmes of initial teacher education and there was a specific modular approach to it. In the new programmes which commenced last month - and the accreditation process is ongoing in that - inclusive education is one of the seven core elements that underpin all aspects of the approach and programme design. Students will have inclusive education as one of the underpinning elements to each and every module and each and every aspect of their programme over the course of their four or two years, depending on the model of provision they choose.
