Rights of the disabled child to education Compiled by Gillian Anderson Senior Researcher Childhood Disability Research Project 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 Convention’s 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.

Filsham Valley School in St Leonards on Sea, East Sussex, England has offered places for up to 55 disabled and blind pupils for the past seven years. Deputy head there Helen Kenwood believes this policy of inclusion has had wide-ranging benefits for all the pupils - and not least, for her staff. "They're better teachers as a result, they need to plan lessons more carefully to take account of those children. "It has raised their awareness of children with disabilities - for example, when planning a trip out, they have to remember some practical considerations such as toilet arrangements for the journey or disabled access at wherever it is we're going," said Mrs Kenwood. Filsham Valley has pupils with a range of special needs, from spina bifida to cerebral palsy, from Asperger's syndrome (a form of autism) to blindness and many are in wheelchairs.

Article 2 provides that every child has a fundamental right to education, and that those with special educational needs must have access to regular schools which should accommodate them within a child centred pedagogy capable of meeting these needs. Articles 3 and 4 of the Statement urge Governments and the international community to endorse the approach of inclusive schooling. Article 1 of the Sundberg Declaration provides: "Every disabled person must be able to exercise his fundamental right to have full access to education, training, culture and information." Article 2 provides that Governments and national and international organisations must take effective action to ensure the fullest possible participation by disabled persons. Pursuant to article 11, disabled persons must be provided with the facilities and equipment necessary for their education and training.

INTRODUCTION II. BACKGROUND AND FRAMEWORK FOR THE ACTIVITY A. Background ... VI. CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS V. ACTIVITIES OF THE SPECIAL RAPPORTEUR C . Related survey - education: rule 6 T he fact that persons with disabilities live a more or less segregated life depends to a major extent on the shortcomings of social systems. One of the most important of these is the educational system. There is a close relationship between the level of education and integration into society. Education lightens the burden of various forms of social disadvantage and opens the door to better living conditions. Education of persons with disabilities is consequently one of the most essential target areas of the Standard Rules. To understand the contents of the Rule on education it is necessary to consider it in the context of three other important documents that preceded the Standard Rules and one document that followed their adoption. These other documents are the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (1989), the World Programme of Action Concerning Disabled Persons (1982), the World Declaration on Education for All (1990) and the Salamanca Statement and Framework for Action on Special Needs Education (1994).

Inclusive education seeks to address the learning needs of all children, youth and adults with a specific focus on those who are vulnerable to marginalisation and exclusion. It was adopted at the Salamanca World Conference on Special Needs Education (1994) and was restated in Dakar (paragraph 4).

Sinyo The difference is worse in special education women and more so if the woman is disabled. returnto international Leadership for Women with Disabilities table of http://www.rehab-international.org/publications/Leadership_Women/SINYOJosephineO

Josephine O. Sinyo Josephine O. Sinyo is the Principal State Counsel and Representative of the Forum for African Women Educationalists (FAWE), Kenya Education for Children with Disabilities in Kenya It is evidently clear that the development and growth of special education in the country has largely continued to depend on external influence and support. Both the colonial and the independent Governments appear to have not been actively involved in its planning, implementation and coordination. The result of this absence of active Government participation has led to a situation where up to the present moment special education is accessible to less than 5% of the children and youth who need it. While accepting that the country witnessed rapid expansion of special education in the 1980's, there are still good reasons to believe more would have attained if the Government played a more active role. Dependence on foreign influence and support has made the Government spend less time examining new innovations in terms of relevance to our situations and also resources. There has also been under utilization of our own human and material resources in providing services to people with special needs. Accessibility to opportunities be they education, health, employment and participation will not be attained unless and until disability is viewed as a developmental issue. It is treating disability as a developmental issue and integrating with all other development programs which will ensure active Government participation. Disability programs would then be given priority in all Government's development plans not left to external support. By being productive, the disabled population will then be able to participate in an equal footing with their non-handicapped members of the community.

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.

Monday, February 15, 1999, page 11 A Fresh Look at 'Special Needs' By Robin Herman International Herald Tribune PARIS - The children may have trouble with reading and writing and especially with spelling. Math can also be difficult. Once called ''slow learners,'' they are now known as ''learning disabled'' in the United States, children with ''learning difficulties'' in Britain and France, and simply ''children in need of special education'' in Denmark. Often ignored, or consigned to separate schools or hospitals if their disabilities were severe, these children are now gaining rights under a developing body of law in European countries. The laws specify that they are entitled to an education that meets their needs - in a normal classroom setting. The European trend toward ''integration,'' as it is called, follows by perhaps 20 years the ''mainstreaming'' of such children in American schools, where special education teachers, as opposed to medical experts, use nonconventional teaching techniques to unlock learning potential in a range of children, including those with subtle perception difficulties. ''From the philosophical point of view, if you're handicapped, you should have the same education as others,'' said Joergen Greve, head of the European Agency for Development in Special Needs Education, a two-and-a-half-year-old agency of the European Commission. ''You may need special materials and teaching, but you are not an ill person. It's a more humanistic approach.''
