It seems to be an agreement among
politicians and researchers that ….
We have the necessary legal rights
The economic resources will not encrease
The critical point is competence!
![Page 14: for Special Needs Education Why? Norway](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022052301/62891bbd3978332d1d3bda89/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
But what sort of competence…
”.. Improvements of the general systems are the most
important steps when it comes to children with special
educational needs ”
”... We need specialized expertise to facilitate for learning for the whole
diversity.”
(NOU 2009:18)

Practice is first of all a question
of creating opportunities for
enriching variations within the
common community. The
school’s capacity for giving
place for and participation to
pupils with different learning
behaviour will be emphasized.
Practice is first of all a question
of arrangements within
prioritized fields for each pupil.
Clarifying each pupil’s
individual special needs and
learning conditions will be
emphasized.
