Abstract

Different countries have different education systems for students with disabilities. This essay focuses on the comparison of education for disabled students between China and the UK, including literary education, higher education, and adult education. It is well-established that the difficulties of education for the disabled in the two nations, and based on the local needs and consequences, several suggestions are proposed, respectively. This essay analyzed the related studies, interviews, and survey reports to explore the characteristics and kinds of problems in each country. The two disability education models, special education and inclusive education have different important concepts in the UK and China, so they need to be explained and analyzed separately. In China, the public starts to accept the group disabled, and compared with it, the UK’s government have set up a completed series of policy for disabled students, but it still exists issues practicing the policy. China and the UK have different preferences in disability education, with the UK preferring inclusive education due to human rights considerations and the widespread adoption of the definition of a social model. However, China prefers special education because of its exam-oriented education model and collectivist ideology.
