  3. Prevailing Policy on Integrated Education Students with severe learning difficulties and multiple disabilities are placed in special schools for more intensive support. Other students with special educational needs (SEN) are enrolled in ordinary schools with additional support and services.

  4. Provisions to Support Students with SEN • In the past, provisions for students with low achievement / disabilities operated on a segregated model • In 1997, launch of the IE programme with one additional teacher per 5 students with SEN (mildly ID, ASD, VI, HI and PD) to adopt the Whole School Approach to SEN • In 2003/04, a New Funding Model based on a per capita grant for students with SEN in primary schools • With effect from 06/07, additional graduate teachers are provided for secondary schools admitting Band 3 and bottom 10% S1 to S3 students (most of students with SEN are covered) • With effect from 06/07, introduce Enhanced Speech Therapy Grant • With effect from 07/08, introduce a 5-year Teacher Professional Development Framework on IE • With effect from 08/09, raise the ceiling to $1 million, provision of a basic grant of $120,000 for the first 1-6 tier-3 student
