The question of mainstream schools and special schools was an interesting area of ​​understanding when working in special education schools. This is an interesting topic of debate when understanding the reasons for and against segregating students with special needs from students without them. This issue has been highlighted in many articles, notably in the research of Avramidis et. al. (2000, pp277-279) which highlights the perspectives of teachers from the UK, USA and Australia on the integration of students with special needs into 'mainstream schools'. Through this study, the reasons for and against integration are highlighted, reflecting the ideas and experiences seen within the work experience carried out in a special educational needs school. The idea of ​​inclusion has been analyzed through this article, focusing on the idea of ​​“restructuring mainstream education”. (Avramidis et.al., 2000, p278) in order to accommodate any disabled child. This idea elicited both positive and negative responses from teachers in the selected countries, with elements from both sides highlighting the reasons why the two teaching styles remained separate. Issues of class size and resources also highlighted issues related to potential teacher capacity. integration. This idea has been highlighted through the specialist school experience, with many additional resources used in the classroom to help educate pupils. These resources made up the majority of the classroom space, with the “hands-on” approach being a fundamental part of their educational processes. This would sometimes affect the learning process of other students, with different needs making it difficult to integrate an inclusive classroom that would benefit the education of all students.
