On the Rule of Law Path for Inclusive Education to Empower Education Assistance for Persons with Disabilities

WANG Sufen & YANG Xiaoting

Abstract: Inclusive education is the mainstream of developing education for persons with disabilities worldwide. It advocates the recognition and protection of the right of persons with disabilities to receive inclusive education in mainstream schools. From the perspective of inclusive education, the educational assistance system for persons with disabilities represents a theoretical innovation in traditional educational support methods, playing a crucial role in integrating persons with disabilities into society, reversing their disadvantaged status, and maintaining educational equity. At present, China’s legal system for inclusive education assistance for persons with disabilities needs improvement, and faces several obstacles, including conceptual“limited capacity”,“monotonous” subjects, “crowding-out” obstacles and “absence” of supervision. It is urgent to begin with the transformation of the rule of law concept, clarify the legal positioning of multiple responsibility subjects, achieve mutual reinforcement of education law and education aid legislation, establish a supervision system for inclusive education assistance, and improve the legal framework for educational assistance for persons with disabilities. This will ensure that persons with disabilities can successfully realize their right to education, share in the benefits of social development, and ultimately contribute to achieving common prosperity.
