Description

In China, those concerned about education for children with disabilities have been working with the aim of extending education to these children and diversifying the form of education. However, so far, 30% to 40% of school-age children with disabilities in China are not receiving compulsory education. In order to promote the spread of education, the Chinese government began, in 2003, to consider inclusive education. In 2008, China ratified the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities. In 2010, the government's medium- and long-term national education plans listed a guarantee of the right of children with disabilities to education as the country's basic education policy. This is a step towards the guarantee of these children's right to education. While admitting the effectiveness of inclusive education in other countries, the Chinese government is attempting to create a system of education that is appropriate for China. In order to realize the guarantee of the right to education for children with disabilities, China has to improve the educational environment, including enhancement of inclusion (suibanjiudu). Such an educational environment will be built by respecting the diversity of Chinese society.
