Research Abstract |
In Sweden the concept of Inclusive Education was developed according to the idea of "Education for All" and "Human dignity" originating from the thought of Normalization. Until the 1990s Inclusive Education was realized in Sweden, but only a mere 8, 3% of total amount of pupils in the Special Schools for the intellectually handicapped was integrated individually into the ordinary classes. During the period of the 1990s, due to political change, such as Social Democratic Party losing its power, the voices supporting Inclusive Education became weaker and weaker. One example is the change of direction of the original Carlbeck Committee platform. This committee originally abolished the schools for the severely intellectually handicapped (there are twp types of special schools for the intellectually handicapped, namely one is for the mildly handicapped and another is for the severely handicapped), but did not allow a high enough percentage of the mildly handicapped students to enroll in the ordinary schools. There are constant discrepancies between the concept and the reality of Inclusive Education.
