What the public think about education
A survey of more than 1,900 members of the general public carried out between the 17 and 22 of February exclusively for Community Care found:
* More than two thirds (68 per cent) of the general public thought that if children with special educational needs were properly supported, most would benefit from being in mainstream schools
* Nearly two thirds (63 per cent) of the public agreed that, with the right support and resources, a policy of including children with special educational needs in mainstream schools would be good for all pupils.
