School plan for disabled
Print Edition
The Chinese government has vowed to ensure that at least 90 percent of children with visual, hearing and intellectual disabilities receive primary and middle school education by the end of 2016.
According to a 2014-2016 plan on improving education for learners with special needs, the country will increase investment, build more infrastructure, foster more quality teachers and reform special education curricula. The plan was jointly mapped out by seven departments, including the ministries of education, civil affairs and finance.
“Despite obvious development in recent years, our country’s special education work in general is still at a low level and suffers from regional imbalance,” the Ministry of Education said.
Official figures show that compulsory education, which includes primary and middle school, only covered 71.9 percent of disabled children as of the end of 2012, compared with 99.5 percent of standard primary schools and 98 percent of middle schools.
The three-year plan also stipulates that disabled children should attend the nearest possible standard schools.
