Enrolment of pupils in special education (from 08-11-2019)
Description
The Law on Expertise Centres (WEC) offers the possibility to place children with disabilities at a school for regular primary or secondary education. Since the introduction of appropriate education in 2014/'15, funding has changed. See www.passendonderwijs.nl.
This file contains pupils who attend special education and does not contain the pupils who are only supervised from special education (and are therefore in regular primary or secondary education). The file therefore contains all pupils who have enrolment in special education or secondary special education in a school year.
Although almost all pupils have only 1 enrolment, it may happen that a student had more than 1 enrolment in a school year. However, only one enrolment per student is included in this file, namely the main registration on 1 October. The following students are not in the file:
— pupils in special primary education (primary education with additional guidance from their own school);
— primary school pupils who are supervised from a special education school;
— secondary school pupils who are supervised from a secondary special education school.
Pupils in special education are usually under 13 years of age, pupils in secondary special education are usually 13 years or older. Pupils in (secondary) special education are divided into 4 clusters:
— Cluster 1 visual limitations;
— Cluster 2 auditory and communicative limitations;
— Cluster 3 physical and intellectual disabilities;
— Cluster 4 serious developmental disorders.
Since the introduction of appropriate education, only clusters 1 and 2 can be distinguished in this component.
