Getting in on the Act.
Vevers, Paul
British Journal of Special Education, v19 n3 p88-91 Sep 1992
This article summarizes the 1992 British report, "Getting in on the Act," which examines implementation of the 1981 Education Act and recommends provisions for students with special needs. Criticisms of the 1981 Act focus on its lack of clarity, lack of accountability, and lack of incentives. A new relationship between local education authorities and schools is urged. (DB)
