Extractions: PARIS 07-SP. Full text (Unesco web site) In June 1994 representatives of 92 governments and 25 international organisations formed the World Conference on Special Needs Education, held in Salamanca, Spain. They agreed a dynamic new Statement on the education of all disabled children, which called for inclusion to be the norm. In addition, the Conference adopted a new Framework for Action , the guiding principle of which is that ordinary schools should accommodate all children, regardless of their physical, intellectual, social, emotional, linguistic or other conditions. All educational policies, says the Framework , should stipulate that disabled children attend the neighbourhood school 'that would be attended if the child did not have a disability.' The Statement begins with a commitment to Education for All, recognising the necessity and urgency of providing education for all children, young people and adults 'within the regular education system.' It says those children with special educational needs 'must have access to regular schools' and adds:

The Forgotten Children Disabled children are at the centre of a movement to improve primary education in Asia which aims to see all children going to school by the year 2000. According to this World Bank Report, the development of inclusive primary education is the best option for achieving education for all in the Asian region where school enrolment rates are still lower than 70 per cent in some countries and where most disabled children receive no schooling at all. An estimated 130 million 'forgotten' children in developing countries, the majority girls, are without any kind of basic or primary education.

Contact us News Message from UNESCO/BREDA on the occasion of the International Day of Disabled Persons World Teachers' Day 31 October 2002 INTEGRATIVE EDUCATION In June 1994, Unesco organised an international conference in collaboration with the Spanish Government on special educational needs (disabled children, children in difficulties). The theme was: " ACCESS AND QUALITY ". The aim of this conference was not only to look for a way of moving closer to the Jomtien objective of Education for All, but also and mostly to promote the integration of children and adolescents with special educational needs (disabled children, children in difficulties, etc) in the standard educational system. The aim therefore is to promote the ability of ordinary schools to receive all children, whatever handicap they may have (including all forms of disabilities or difficulties).

Extractions: In preparation for the UN Special Session on Children, RI has reviewed current statistics, literature and international policy statements, and consulted with specialists in childhood disability. The following findings from these materials are sobering and underscore the urgency of raising the inclusion of children and youths with disabilities to a high priority in all proposed actions and programs to implement the Convention on the Rights of the Child. During the last century in most countries, disabled children were often overlooked, excluded, hidden away or exiled to institutions. In the 21st century, RI envisions "a world where equal opportunities for disabled people becomes a natural consequence of enlightened policies and legislation supporting full inclusion to and access to all parts of society." "The rights of students with disabilities to be educated in their local mainstream school is becoming more and more accepted in most countries, and many reforms are being put in place to achieve to this goal. Further, there is no reason to segregate disabled students in public education systems. Instead, education systems need to be reconsidered to meet the needs of all students."

Extractions: EDUCATION OF THE DISABLED: OPEN THE DOOR* Job Zachariah** A recent study conducted by the District Primary Education Programme (DPEP) reveals that out of 12 million children , only one million is attending school. Another study conducted by the Spastics Society of Tamil Nadu shows that on an average there are only six disabled children, per school in Tamil Nadu. The goal of universal elementary education cannot be achieved unless all disabled children are included in the education system. Laws on Education of the Disabled The National Policy on Education (NPE) 1986 advocates integrated education in general school for locomotor impaired children and the mildly disabled children and special education to the severely handicapped children. It also recommends orientation and pre-service training for general teachers on disability management and provision of vocational training. The Policy document says that the objective should be to integrate the physically and the mentally handicapped with the general community as equal partners to prepare them to face life with courage and confidence. All children have the right to be educated regardless of their disability or learning difficulty, because education is a human right. Exclusionary policies and practices however, are widely prevalent all over the country. Many premier schools in the country deny admission to disabled children in violation of their right to education.

Extractions: December 2001 The rights of children with disabilities are addressed in a number of international and national laws. INTERNATIONAL The Convention of the Rights of the Child , was ratified by South Africa in 1995. This means that the South African Government is required to bring its laws into line with the Conventions provisions. Section 23 of the Convention addresses children with disabilities and forbids discrimination against them, and provides for their welfare and for treatment with dignity. The World Programme of Action concerning Disabled Persons provides a policy framework aimed at promoting effective measures for prevention of disability, rehabilitation and the realisation of the goals of full participation. The United Nations Standard Rules on Equalisation of Opportunities for Persons with Disabilities set out international standards for a national planning process. The Rules are not legally binding on South Africa. They express important principles of full participation and equality for people with disabilities. The Rules guide a country in developing policies and offer a monitoring system to ensure they are effective.

Extractions: LOIS POPE - A LIFE of Philanthropy Lois Pope, one of America's leading philanthropists, is the founder of the Lois Pope LIFE Foundation and Leaders in Furthering Education (LIFE). These two charitable organizations are devoted to saving lives, helping people help themselves, improving the quality of life for families in need and encouraging young Americans to become leaders by helping others. Mrs. Pope is also Chairman and co-founder of the Disabled Veterans' LIFE Memorial Foundation, which is leading a successful drive to erect the first memorial in Washington, D.C. honoring America's more than 2.3 million living disabled veterans, as well as all disabled veterans throughout American history. Following is a sampling of Mrs. Pope's numerous good works that benefit the less fortunate and awaken Americans to the understanding that making a difference in the world is the right and responsibility of everyone. The American Veterans Disabled for Life Memorial Throughout history, Americans have erected monuments to their heroes. Thus far, however, we have failed to honor the extraordinary sacrifices made by one group of unsung heroes - those who bear the scars of war on their bodies, minds and spirits. In partnership with the Disabled American Veterans, Mrs. Pope has formed the Disabled Veterans' LIFE Memorial Foundation to honor the more than 2,300,000 veterans living today, and those who came before them, who were disabled while defending our American freedom. In August of 2002, Mrs. Pope made a landmark $2 million gift to serve as the springboard for the campaign to fund construction of the American Veterans Disabled for Life Memorial in Washington, D. C. Further, upon the recent death of her close personal friend and colleague former Secretary of Veterans Affairs Jesse Brown, Mrs. Pope established a million-dollar challenge grant. Every contribution to this special fund will be matched dollar for dollar by the Lois Pope LIFE Foundation, up to one million dollars. When the challenge grant runs its course, it will comprise $2 million totally appropriated and restricted to the construction of the American Veterans Disabled for Life Memorial.

Extractions: Headlines Viewpoints Apologetics EXTRA! ... Encouragement Parents Excel in Teaching Their Special Needs Children Written by Chris Klicka Objective studies demonstrate that parents are providing a superior form of education for their special needs children by teaching them at home. Contrary to the claims of the education elite, parents do not have to be specially certified or have special qualifications to teach their handicapped children at home. In fact, in one of the most thorough studies performed thus far, Dr. Steven Duvall conducted a year long study involving eight elementary and two junior high students with learning disabilities. He compared one group of five students that received instruction at home with a group of five students who attended public schools. He was careful to match the public school students to the homeschool students according to grade level, sex, I.Q., and area of disability. Using a laptop computer, Dr. Duvall sat in on teaching sessions and took an observation every twenty seconds, creating tens of thousands of data points that were then fed into a statistical analysis package. Normally his research included a second observer who double-checked Dr. Duvall's readings. Dr. Duvall recorded and analyzed academically engaged time by students during
Extractions: European Year of People with Disabilities 2003 The European Commission's proposal to specify 2003 as the European Year of People with Disabilities was adopted as an integral part of the Social Policy Agenda at the Nice Summit in December 2002. The resolution corresponds with various developments in social progress, particularly the Anti-Discrimination Directive based on Article 13 of the Amsterdam Treaty. "The thrust of the Year is rights-based. In keeping with this overall theme, a major element will be raising awareness of the right of people with disabilities to protection against discrimination and their right to enjoy civil rights, including access to education and training, as laid down in the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union." Education will be a major issue. The March 2002 Madrid Declaration states that "schools should take a lead role in spreading the message of understanding and acceptance of disabled people's rights, helping to dispel fears, myths, and misconceptions and supporting the efforts of the whole community." In preparation for the Year, the European Commission is dedicating its European Day of People with Disabilities 2002 to "Education For All," as a prologue to 2003. Activities will also promote exchange of effective practices and strategies at local, national, and European levels, as well as the involvement of governments, the private sector, communities, voluntary organizations, people with disabilities and their families. The positive contributions that persons with disabilities make to society will be highlighted, and efforts will continue to raise society's awareness of people who experience multiple discrimination.
