Part I of the Report, sections 1 to 4, outlines the background and evolution of inclusive and special education in Malta. 2. Section 2 sets out a statistical framework. It includes the total and distribution of the school population in State, Church and Independent schools, as on 31st January 2005, of whom, 2.57% were students with individual educational needs. The framework also details the learning support give to these students; and the annual cost, in relation to total public expenditure, to the Gross Domestic Products (at market prices). 3. Section 3 provides a European perspective, drawing on a thematic report by the European Agency for Development in Special Needs Education. 4. Section 4 lays out the main points of submissions made to the Working Group by stakeholders, including students, parents/carers, teachers, learning support providers, and NGOs. (These are included in full in the Annex to the Report.) 5. Part II of the Report is made up of Section 5, which evaluates the learning support that is being extended, from early assessment and intervention, the statementing process regarding children with individual educational needs (IENs), to inclusion in mainstream schools. (Special schools are appraised within Section 7.) The Working Group concludes that: •the objectives of the inclusive education policy have not been effectively implemented through systematic provision of a spectrum of support that satisfies meaningfully a basic spectrum of needs of children with a disability in the Maltese Islands; • development and implementation of the few mechanisms designed to promote inclusive education have not kept up with its progressive annual extension from early childhood through to post-secondary level; •the substantial and rising budgetary outlay allocated towards meeting the objectives of inclusive education policy is not yielding value for money by structuring and operating as sound and effective a policy of educational inclusion as is essential to meet the legitimate aspirations of students with a learning disability, parents and carers, and society in general. 6. Part III of the Report, consisting of Sections 6 to 9, contains the Recommendations of the Working Group. 7. In Section 6, the Working Group recommends that there should be a Repositioning Plan, spread over seven to ten years, based on a break with the expectation that learning support must be given on a one-to-one or shared basis, to include the following reappraisal and action: • screening at birth and early assessment and intervention should be strengthened with appropriate specialist resources, and include preparation of an individualised pre-school programme; •the process of statementing of children reported to have disabilities should be carried out by a multi-disciplinary team, as far as possible in a school environment; •provision to a student with IENs should consistently promote self-reliance, avoid the pitfalls of a culture of dependency, and be set within a whole- vii INCLUSIVE AND SPECIAL EDUCATION REVIEW school policy that maximises the input to, and contribution from all students, such that a coherent and mutually supporting policy becomes the engine for total, inclusive achievement; these objectives should underlie the whole process of inclusion, from statementing onwards; • student teachers, and teachers in service, should be trained to prepare Individualised Education Plans (IEPs), and to assume responsibility for their implementation; •class teachers should be guided and assisted in their approach to inclusive education by a newly created specialist cadre, to be made up of INCOs, and specialist teachers from special education resource centres (which should be formed from the restructuring of special schools, recommended by the Group in Section 7) ; • specialist teachers should be education graduates, with
