FDP party president Thierry Burkart has called for the abolition of inclusive schools. "It has failed", said Burkart in an interview.
In an interview with Tamedia published on Thursday, Burkart said that children with learning difficulties are disadvantaged in inclusive schools and regular lessons are hindered. High-achieving pupils were being neglected.
"The many assessments and therapies lead to the pathologization of children," continued the FDP party president. Many children do not achieve their educational goals despite a high level of care.
In principle, schools should focus on their core task of teaching basic skills in future, said Burkart. He also hopes that this will make the teaching profession more attractive. He intends to present a corresponding position paper at the FDP delegates' meeting on Saturday, as emerged from the interview.
