Impressions of the Slovenian team on Erasmus + mobility in Heide- Germany, 16.5.2022 – 20.5.2022
Our school week in Germany was very interesting and educational. We spent quality time with people, who work with pupils with special needs from Croatia, Austria, Ireland, Northern Ireland and Germany.
We introduced us with German education system for pupils
with special needs in the main stream schools and we were also included into
learning sessions with some pupils. We saw some priorities of their school
system in practice, which would be welcomed also by us in Slovenia. We liked a
lot the idea, that the marks for the child with special needs are not the most
important for life. On the first place there is, that every pupil is as much as
possible independent, with positive self-image and is maximal social integrated
into group of other peers.
Compared to the Slovenian school system we were
thrilled of the autonomy of special education teachers, who have more freedom
in their working. They teach few pupils at the same lesson from different
classes and they work only on the areas with learning deficits. During and also
at the end of school year special education teacher also can give marks to
those pupils, for school subjects German, English and Maths.
On the other hand, we were very surprised about the
information, how they try to stop disruptive behavior. First, they give pupils with
bad behavior the yellow card and after having two of them, the pupil must leave
the school for that day. It is allowed, that the pupil with disruptive behavior
is present at school for one hour per week. This is the condition for getting
the general certificate of education.
We believe, that Slovenian school system takes care
very good for pupils with special needs, but of course, there still stays some
place for improvement of that area.
