Inclusion and the transition: Transfer from special to mainstream–ten years later

<jats:p>In this article, Garry Hornby and Roger Kidd provide a follow‐up to their own investigation of the outcomes of an inclusion project in Yorkshire ten years ago. Twenty‐nine students were transferred from their special school for pupils with moderate learning difficulties into mainstream schools. Hornby and Kidd now report high levels of unemployment amongst these young people and indications that the quality of their adult lives is less than satisfactory. The results of this small‐scale survey will raise important questions for all those concerned with current trends in the education of pupils with learning difficulties and their transition into adulthood.</jats:p>
