Abstract

In August, 1994, China commenced education for children with disabilities under the newly established Education Law for Children with Disabilities of the People's Republic of China. Since the foundation of new China in 1949, the Communist Party and the government of China have been concerned about the problems of education for children with disabilities, and have gradually prepared to pass some laws for them. The special education regulations were partly set up in the Constitution (1982), the Law on Compulsory Education (1986), the Protective Law for Children with Disabilities (1990), and so on. Based on these laws, the 1994 law further detailed and integrated many of the past regulations on education for children with disabilities. Compulsory education for children with disabilities in China has developed comprehensively from the laws, regulations, policies, plans concerned with preschool education, compulsory education, vocational education, teacher training, the evaluation of many aspects of special education, and other factors. Now the equal right of children with disabilities to receive an education and take their part in social life can be assured by the law . No doubt, this is an example of progress in China. In short, we can evaluate the progress of the modern construction of socialism, and hope for further development of the People's Republic of China.
