In the statistics on special education in comprehensive schools, acceptances and transfers to special education refer to pupils who have been accepted or transferred to special education due to disability, illness, delayed development, emotional disorder or other reason. Decisions about acceptances or transfers are made by municipal administrative bodies and require hearing of experts and parents, and drawing up of plans concerning the organisation of personal teaching. If necessary, the number of subjects can be individualised and reduced from those in general education. Duration of compulsory education can also be extended where the pupil is unlikely to reach the targets set for comprehensive school education within nine years.
