The Minister of Education, Aloizio Mercadante, defended the policy of encouraging special education in regular classes. "Brazil has to have 100% of children and youth with disabilities in school. School attendance is a special right, yes, but to be exercised in a complementary and not exclusive, "he emphasized.
Mercadante cited census data of basic education, which show that in 2000 there were only 21.4% of people with disabilities enrolled in mainstream public. In 2011, the number jumped to 74.2%. In addition, 22% of schools now have access. For 12 years, were only 2.2%. Regarding access, according to the minister, favored by 69% of the Continuous Cash Benefit (BPC) are in the public schools. And 78% of teachers have already undergone training in special education.
"The inclusive education policy allowed a spectacular growth, so that students with disabilities live with other students and other students living with them," said Mercadante. He noted that schools are being reformed and adapted to allow school buses accessibility.
The minister underscored that the Fund for the Development of Basic Education (Fundeb) accounts for dual enrollment to students with disabilities in public schools. This so they can attend regular schools in a turn and specialized care in another. "The student has to make the regular education and special and it is sanctioned by the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities UN 2006 and the National Conference on Education 2010. This is a discussion already overcome, "he said.
In view of the minister, those with disabilities are increasingly demonstrating insertion in the labor market and act competently. "That's what we want, we will not segregate again, like we did 10 years ago. Rather, we must look still hundreds of thousands of poor young people with disabilities who can not get to school, one by one. "
