Compulsory Schooling
Parents, inspectors of primary education and teachers are invited to identify and report children with special needs to the Commission medico-psycho-pédagogique nationale (CMPPN).

The organisation of the participation of children with special needs in mainstream schools involves a functional diagnostic assessment based on multi-disciplinary observations allowing the establishment of an individual educational plan for each child. The educational staffs elaborate upon this plan: The teacher, the educationalist and each concerned person in collaboration with the parents and approved by the inspector of the resort.

To allow the child with a special need to develop properly, a re-examination of the individual educational plan can be asked for by each concerned person during the school year.

General attributions of the CMPPN:
- advise the minister of National Education in taking decisions in favour of children with pedagogical, intellectual, emotional, sensory and social problems, who have difficulties in pre-primary, primary, as well as in Special Education
- make sure that children with special needs are detected in pre-primary and primary education
- assist each person, responsible for a child with special needs
- recommend preventive measures and pedagogical assistance for children having learning difficulties
