Mainstream (pre) school

A local (pre-)school with local community friends and peers, maintained/provided by the relevant educational authorities (municipality, local or regional authority, working with the ministry responsible for national education). 

Within mainstream (pre-)schools, there may be mainstream groups/classes, where a child/learner spends the majority (80% or more) of their time with their peers, or separate groups/classes, where the child/learner spends 20% or more of their time away from their peers (European Agency, 2021a, p. 9).
