Summary
The constitution of the People’s Republic of China, as amended in 1982, stipulates that “the state and society shall assist in arranging the labor, life and education of blind, deaf, dumb and other citizens with disabilities” It was rare in the world at that time for the education of the disabled to be included in the state’s fundamental law. The law of the People’s Republic of China on compulsory education promulgated in 1986 clearly stipulates that “local people’s governments at various levels shall set up special education schools (classes) for blind, deaf and mentally retarded children and adolescents”. We should further implement the 18th, 19th National Congress of CPC on the cause of education for the disabled, upholding and developing education for the disabled with Chinese characteristics, and actively promote educational mode transformation to inclusive education, in the process of completing the building of a moderately prosperous society in all respects, to safeguard the legitimate rights and interests of persons with disabilities, to further boost China’s education for the disabled in the world
