A survey released yesterday shows that more than 70 percent of parents think that there are not enough places for pupils with special needs to receive a mainstream education in local schools.
According to Wikipedia, mainstreaming, in the context of education, is the practice of educating students with special needs in regular classes based on their skills.
The survey was conducted by the Macau Special Education Study Association (SESA), a group founded in 2015.
