	Comparative Evaluation of the Effectiveness of Various Models of Education of Children...
		As integrated education aims at enrollment in a nearby regular school and the child continues to stay in the family, there is better scope for covering each and every child with visual impairment in the village.
		In case of semi-integrated education, as the child is required to stay away from the family in an urban centre, the enrollment of children from the farming families is lower (42.3%) as compared to that of integrated education (60%).
		Integrated education proves to be the most effective with respect to coverage of girls, younger children and children with congenital visual impairment.

	Center For Global Integrated Education (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-21)
		An integrated educational approach aims to foster a culture in which the physical, intellectual, moral, ethical, emotional, social, and spiritual needs are fully understood and addressed.
		Such moral education is at the center of any model of integrated education, and the orbiting academic disciplines reinforce and complement the center, using spiritual principles to organize the content of the academic study.
		In today's integrating world, the fundamental spiritual principle of moral education must be the principle of the oneness of humankind; the belief that human beings are essentially the same everywhere and at every time, but that social conditions vary so that different qualities may be brought out, trained and find proper expression in society.

	Integrated Education in Northern Ireland
		Integration doesn’t erase prejudice in a society, but it does provide an environment where a child or adult can learn that "the other person" is very much like him or herself.
		Integrated education alone won’t resolve all the challenges remaining in Northern Ireland.
		The 5% of the children who attend integrated schools do so largely because their parents want a quality education for their children and because they are committed to having their children learn alongside others with different backgrounds or beliefs.

		Integration gives children the opportunity to understand that you can be friends with each other and if you do not like someone it is not because they are Catholic or Protestant.

	Education World ® Schoool Issues: Wire Side Chats: Putting the Arts in the (Everyday) Picture
		While funding for arts education continues to take a hit, the arts continue to be a valuable tool for engaging students and improving performance, according to Putting the Arts in the Picture: Reframing Education in the 21st Century, a study published by the Center for Arts Policy at Columbia College in Chicago.
		For educators and administrators interested in implementing an arts-integrated curriculum, but with limited resources and expertise, our first suggestion would be to engage experienced teaching artists to help them develop and staff their efforts.
		Unlike conventional arts education, student work in integrated classrooms reaches a higher level because students are encouraged to master real arts skills, while engaging the world and the other subjects through their art.

	BioMed Central \| Full text \| Psychosocial environment for the integrated education opportunities of the disabled in ...
		The ideology of the individual medical approach to the disabled that is predominant in Lithuania contradicts the EU culture of socio-educational approach to the disabled, and causes legal policy contradictions between the healthcare system that promotes the stagnant rehabilitation approach to the disabled, and the educational system that has adopted the progressive educational approach [3].
		Lithuanian scientists [6-9] also presented similar conclusions in their writings stating that children's separation from their families, and education in specialized educational establishments impedes the accomplishment of educational goals (one of the main goals of comprehensive education is the development of an independent personality capable of responsibly creating his/her life).
		With a view to investigate the multidimensional attitude of the respondents towards each other as well as their attitude towards the integration process in the area of education, two types of authentic questionnaires were used for schoolchildren with and without disabilities.

	The Australian Experience
		Initially, the Australian vocational education and training system was supply (that is, provider) focused and provided for limited industry involvement in the development of training courses that would meet the needs of the future work force.
		The educational pursuits of young Australians should not be frustrated by constraints in moving between sectors and this is being achieved by arrangements where the university and vocational education and training sectors are moving towards recognising each others' passports at the borders rather than through uniformity between the sectors.
		To ensure that Australia is aware of the latest advancements in vocational education and training, and to assist in improving current practices, a strong commitment to research, development and innovation is coupled with extensive funding of research centres around Australia.

	EPAA Vol. 11 No. 32 Frankenberg & Lee: Charter Schools and Race: A Lost Opportunity for Integrated Education
		Some of the charter founders are idealistic education leaders with a great new idea, strong imagination and inexhaustible energy, while some are committed community activists who have longed to run their own schools, or to serve only one group in a community, and many are managed by corporations that hope to profit from their operation.
		This is why early educational choice programs were often found to produce white flight from integrated schools and to contribute to segregation in many school desegregation trials.
		Commissioner of Education must assess whether charter will have segregative effect on district of residence of the charter school, and after the charter is operating, Commissioner must assess whether charter has a segregative effect on other districts sending pupils to the charter.

	How is Cultural Competency integrated in education?
