Education System in UK
By Aaron Schwartz

All over the world in many societies the children with different kind of disabilities have been traditionally separated from the healthy children. This mostly has been related to the educational process, and educational segregation is still a common and traditional practice in many countries nowadays. It has been generally believed that only special professionals in education will be able to educate those kids.

But already for a decade or even more this approach in solving problem with children who have disabilities is being questioned. The recent researches show the evidence to prove that these children can get the general and tradition education in regular mainstream schools. This practice will also be very beneficial for disabled children, because this treatment will develop the sense of self-consciousness, self meaning and value and will make them more confident and form a positive attitude towards the society. For schools this practice will improve educational capabilities and will enrich the experience and knowledge of teachers in practical pedagogic, psychology and sociology as well as it’ll make other children to be more understandable, tolerant, patient and sympathetic to others who differ from them. Even for healthy regular kids this innovation will be beneficial because it’ll make them to learn how to interact with different people and how to build healthy relations with different people when they are young.

Nowadays most of official and human rights activists agree that the existence of special schools makes a violation of students’ rights, that mainly includes the violation of the right for meaningful and proper education at school, it violates the right for the harmonic and social development that is essential for the psychological and natural growth or development of every child. As the supporters of inclusive education argue, official enforcement of separate education on the grounds of disability, learning difficulty or emotional issues violates international human rights agreements that include the UNESCO Salamanca Statement and Framework for Action (1994), the UN Standard Rules on the Equalization of Opportunities for Persons with Disabilities (1993) and the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child (1989).
