Judith Nel, president of the Special Education Principals' Association (SEPA) and Principal of Parkside School says special education in New Zealand is in trouble.
According to Nel, the sector faces a number of problems, including a lack of trained staff and underfunding.
To address these issues the government will need to drastically increase the number of specialist staff by expanding the national training curriculum.
