I wish to elaborate on that. I agree wholeheartedly with the Teaching Council's view that teachers are fully qualified particularly in the area of special education. I have seen people come straight out of college and into a special education class, sometimes with no experience. This happens in mainstream as well. I have called for a long time for strict modules on working on special education which should be brought into special education classes and schools. It has nothing to do with Montessori.
