Special Needs | Public Institutions

This compendium, prepared by the Division for Public Institutions and Digital Government (DPIDG) of the United Nations Department of Economic and Social Affairs (UN DESA), aims to capture emerging trends in digital responses of UN Member States against the COVID-19 pandemic along with other digital government initiatives and provide a preliminary analysis of their main features. These cases are shared for exchange of information so that Member States can learn from each other and possibly create new partnerships.

Pupils with special educational needs are promoted as integratively as possible, ie within the regular class. The mainstream school is the place for learning together. It recognizes that pupils differ in terms of level of development, learning and performance, social and linguistic origin or behavior. Support for schoolchildren with special educational needs is intended to ensure that all children and young people are empowered to integrate themselves into society and to participate in it.
Special educational needs can be given by: distinctive talents
difficult learning and behavioral requirements
German as second language
