Advisory Council on Special Education (MACSE)
The Minister's Advisory Council on Special Education advises the
Minister of Education on any matter related to the establishment and
provision of special education programs and services for exceptional
students, including the identification and provision of early
intervention programs for students with special needs.
In particular, the Council:
-
responds to proposals or positions of the Ministry
of Education or other ministries, as submitted to the Council from time
to time;
-
identifies concerns in the delivery of special education programs and
services for exceptional pupils and provides information, advice, and
recommendations for ministry consideration;
-
submits an annual report and recommendations to the minister, and
-
meets up to three times a year (February, June and November) for a
maximum of three days.
The council has 22 members, most of whom represent either exceptionality
or a profession. There is also a representative for students and youth,
and there are two representatives from the Ministry of Health and the
Ministry of Community and Social Services who sit as non-voting members.
All Council members are appointed by the Minister of Education.
