Abstract

China has initiated inclusive education since the mid1980s in response to the international trend of inclusive education and the need of socialising children with disabilities with other peers. Unfortunately although more than 30 years passed by since implementing “Learning in Regular Classroom” (LRC) aims of this education have not been achieved. The aim of the article is to present the socio-cultural aspects of disability in China and the history, system and challenges of inclusive education.
