Description

Economic units primarily dedicated to providing education (preschool, primary, and secondary levels) to individuals who, due to their physical, sensory, intellectual, or mental characteristics (disability, giftedness, learning difficulties, language or behavioral challenges), face challenges integrating into mainstream schools or society. These units offer their services through a traditional school system (fully in-person education, using a set format defined by a specific time and place for students and teachers), an open system (blended learning, where students determine their own study time and subjects, study is self-directed, but they attend scheduled tutoring sessions at the school), or a distance learning system (where students work online in a digital environment using new technologies).
