There are massive numbers of students having school
problems, who are screaming at us with their behaviours.
They are telling us that school is irrelevant, boring, dull,
not meeting their needs, and driving them crazy.
These students drop out, or get kicked out, form gangs,
and get in trouble and we continue to blame the victims
rather than looking deep at ourselves and our school
system for creative answers and alternatives
Pearpoint & Forest, 1994
The Salamanca Statement
Malta signatory notwithstanding the following
quote still holds Regular schools……. Are the most effective means of combating discriminatory attitudes
La creazione di una communita’
“If we are to have classrooms that not only include children who are diverse in many ways, but also make them welcome, appreciated and valued members of the classroom environment, we will have to set community building as a high priority”
Sapon-Shevin (1999) p.xi

Una Cultura della segregazione
How can we seriously talk about the inclusion of children with disability when our “ordinary” children are not included: when we, in Malta, have an educational system which predominately divides the “bright” from the “not so bright”, the “adjusted” from the “maladjusted” and even segregates
males from females.
A culture of segregation
It is a system where only a minority, often at great emotional and financial expense, enter the much vaunted Lyceums and Colleges in Malta while the rest are relegated to Secondary Area Schools, Trade Schools, Opportunity Centers, Special Schools.
