HALIFAX — A commission is set to release its long-awaited report today on classroom inclusion
in Nova Scotia.
The independent commission on inclusive education was charged with producing the study in the
wake of a bitter labour dispute between the provincial government and 9,300 public school
teachers.
In an interim report last June, the commission found the current model is broken
and needs wholesale change.
The inclusion policy requires the province to make sure students with special needs are given
support to succeed in a regular classroom setting.
It became a major issue during a contract dispute last year that saw teachers walk off the job for
a day and stage a protest outside the provincial legislature.
At the time, teachers came forward to say inclusion wasn't working because teachers weren't
given resources to help challenging students.
