CREATING A POWERFUL FUTURE FOR ALL BODY TYPES.
The Avenue for disabled people to education opened when society started to realise that they were capable of learning. In the late eighteenth century, schools and institutions for the blind and the deaf emerged in Europe, and the achievements of the people in these schools improved society's perspective of the capabilities of disabled people. Institutions and schools for physically disabled, however, emerged much later,ie.in the 1920s and 1930s.To date however, the fact remains that disabled people receive less education and leave school with fewer qualifications than others,and this issue is particularly acute in developing countries.Lack of education is a problem for the majority of disabled young people.Lack of schooling reinforces the belief that such children cannot learn;that such children should not be put through the stress of learning. Physical barriers, such as stairs, often make school buildings inaccessible. In addition, lack of trained teachers, and appropriate teaching materials limits access to education for millions of disabled children.
Attention has to be drawn on to growing interest in inclusive schooling practices and promoting greater integration into the general classroom setting. These efforts must not be directed only onto younger children but onto disabled adolescents as well.
So much attention must be paid towards this age group, since without proper schooling millions of these young people end up on the street, unemployed and often involved in crime, s*x work and drugs.
An extensive educational system should be improved for most youth with disabilities integrating them into general classrooms.
Creation of specialised classes and offering training in social and job skills should be improved to help in the transition to adulthood. Let us create a powerful future for all body types.
