Describe the regular education initiative

Answers

This philosophy was introduced in 1986 in the United States by Madeleine C. Will, Assistant Secretary of Education in 1986. Regular Education Initiative is a philosophy which states that general education rather than special education should be primarily responsible for the education of students with disabilities. Will questioned legitimacy of special education as a system of education distinct from general education. Will was not clear on how much regular education should take over functions of special education. At this level provision of education was at integration level. During integration, children with special needs had to pass a test so as to qualify for integration. In some cases integration was only for a few subjects in which a child with special needs was able to do. This was still discriminative.
