The Ministry of Education extended the adhesion deadline for the National Special Education Policy. Education networks received more time to formalize participation through the official system.

What Changed?

The deadline for networks to adhere to the special education policy was moved from the earlier June deadline to 2026-06-15.

Old System vs New System

Before

State, municipal, and district networks had to complete adhesion by the previous deadline to participate in the current policy cycle.

After

Networks could complete adhesion until 2026-06-15, giving administrators more time to formalize participation and prepare implementation steps.

Families should follow local education-network communications on services and support linked to the policy.

School / Institution Impact

Networks and schools had additional time to organize adhesion and plan local implementation steps.

Teacher / Staff Impact

Teachers and special education professionals may later receive guidance, training, or operational changes from networks that join the policy.

Key Dates
