Policies toward the Integration of Mentally Handicapped Children in Education.

Booth, Tony

Oxford Review of Education, v9 n3 p255-68 1983

The desire to keep the mentally handicapped segregated comes not from educational or medical considerations but from the stratified nature of the educational system and the political agenda of the conservative government.
