 Students' voices: how does education in Iceland prepare young people with significant impairments for adulthood?
The educational system is divided into four levels; preschool up to 6 years of age is not compulsory but recognized as the first stage in public education, compulsory school 6-16 years, upper secondary school 16-20 years, and higher education level from 20 years of age onwards.
Inclusive education in upper secondary schools is more complex and problematic for teachers, than in the case of compulsory education, because upper secondary schools are mostly large, bureaucratic institutions set up to prepare young people for work or further studies in the adult world.
Their gains from inclusive schooling are many: the opportunity to obtain an education that is expected to enable them to access ordinary life and work in the community, the potential for building varied relationships with peers, and the possibility of gathering broad experiences and processing along age and culturally appropriate socialization patterns.
