Abstract
Special education for persons with disabilities is an integral part of a nation’s education system. However, it is not until after World War II, particularly after the 1970s, that the right to education of children with disabilities garnered widespread attention in the global community. The UN’ agencies released a succession of official papers related to or specialized in this issue, such as the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, Declaration on the Rights of Mentally Retarded Persons, Declaration on the Rights of Disabled Persons, Declaration of the Rights of the Child, Standard Rules on the Equalization of Opportunities for Persons with Disabilities, Framework for Action on Special Needs Education, and Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities. Despite the variations in the context and content between these papers, they share the common conception that every society and its government have the responsibility and obligation to provide high-quality education services for children with disabilities to ensure their right to education and protect them from educational discrimination and exclusion (Li, 2023).
