...Laws, Procedures and Policies Regarding Disciplining Special Education Students Holly Witherwax Prairie View A&M University Introduction Discipline within a school setting is of prime importance, and ensures that learning activities progress without major hitches. This is true in school settings that enroll students without disabilities, as well as schools for students with special needs. Learning institutions that enroll both disabled students and those not disabled are also tasked with ensuring that discipline amongst the students is maintained across the board. Therefore, the challenge for administrators in schools that have incorporated special education students is that of ensuring that in disciplining special education students; they act within the law, they act in an unprejudiced manner (vis-à-vis disciplining normal students) and finally that the punishment takes cognizance of the status of the student as a special education student. Federal Law and Disciplining Special Education Students There are various laws that govern the disciplining of special education students in federally supported schools in K-12 education. The most relevant law as regards disciplining special education students is the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) 1990 (reauthorized in 1997). The provisions of IDEA state that unless a special needs student has committed punishable acts that require drastic measures such as the student being permanently transferred from...

...Special Needs and Inclusive Education Program in Uganda This essay urges that the state is a relatively stronger player in delivering public policy in contemporary governance. This essay will discuss this with reference to the implementation of the Special Needs Education and Inclusive Education (SNE/IE) program in Uganda. The Special Needs Education (SNE) program in Uganda was introduced in the 1950’s by the Colonial Government for provision of ‘special education’ services to children who had visual, hearing, learning and motor impairments (CSBAG, 2013, p.15 see Civil Society Budget Advocacy Group). The author indicates that, with the introduction of the Universal Primary Education (UPE) Policy in 1997, Inclusive Education (IE) as a key component of the policy was emphasized with a major goal of increasing access, equity and quality of educational services for persons with special learning needs (pp.15-16). Special Needs Education and Inclusive Education (SNE/IE) is drawn from the ultimate right of every child to education which is declared in various international instruments to which Uganda is a signatory. These instruments include; the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (1948), the Convention on the Rights of the Child (1989), the Salamanca Statements and Framework for Action on Special Needs Education (1994), United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (2006) and the African (Bunjul) Charter on Human Rights and People’ Rights (1986) (p.23)...

...Table of Contents THE CURRENT SITUATION OF SPECIAL NEEDS EDUCATION IN KENYA 2 BACKGROUND INFORMATION 2 Governmental support for people with disabilities 2 Other legislation to promote opportunities for people with disabilities has been drafted. These include: 3 Legislation 4 Key ministries and agencies responsible for disability issues 5 Policies 5 Programmes 6 Challenges 8 Recommendations by The National Council for Persons with Disabilities 10 THE CURRENT SITUATION OF SPECIAL NEEDS EDUCATION IN KENYA BACKGROUND INFORMATION There is no recent data on the situation of people with disabilities in Kenya. Some numbers are available, although these do not give an accurate picture of the number of disabled people living in the country. Applying the WHO recommended 10 per cent to today’s Kenyan population of approximately 40 million this would indicate that there may be some 4 million disabled people. Many disabled people in Kenya, as in most developing countries in the world, live in poverty have limited opportunities for accessing education, health, suitable housing and employment opportunities. * Recently Kenya inaugurated the African union specialized agency for disability prevention and research in the continent-the east African region office serves 12 countries that include; Uganda, Kenya, Tanzania, Rwanda, Burundi, Sudan, Djibouti, Ethiopia ,the Comoros, Somalia Seychelles and Eritrea. The office provides a unified approach to issues of disabilities in all aspects...

...| | Individual with Disabilities Education Act Litigation Every person is different and every person learns in a different way or style and every person deserves the opportunity to an education. This could justify need for differentiation but could it also justify a need for a special education program? To answer the question pose, first we have to answer why there is a need for a special education program? Horace Mann explains it more eloquently; he says “education, then, beyond all other devices of human origin, is the great equalizer of the conditions of men, the balance wheel of the social machinery”. Personally, I feel this quote explains the need for special education. Educating students with disabilities levels the playing field with their peers and enhancing the studies of those children with special gifts and talents advances their learning. Students with learning disabilities should be educated in the least restrictive environment, those gifted should be among peers with similar strengths and all their abilities and inabilities should be accommodated. Special education is the legal definition of programs that provide greater support for certain students and is sometimes referred to as (EC). Exceptional students does not refer to a specific location or fixed concept, however, to include a broader range of services from a smaller individualized learning environments, to assistive technology, and/or a modified curriculum that capitalizes on student’s...

...Students with disabilities in higher education institutions in Andhra Pradesh Introduction Article 45(a) of the Constitution of India has guaranteed education as a fundamental right for every citizen. For this the government of India has been taking steps for equalization of educational opportunities to its entire people since independence (Das, 2000). In this respect, it is apt to think about students in higher education with special educational needs such as visual, hearing, locomotor and intellectually abled/disabled, who are experiencing difficulties in pursuing higher education. According to the Persons with Disability Act 1995, students with disabilities should have access to education all levels including higher education and it also giving 3% reservation in all higher education institutions in India. And the University Grants Commission has already attempted to facilitate better accessibility in higher education for persons with disabilities to achieve better results by giving special grants. But out 348 universities in India only 54 Universities and colleges were identified by UGC to grant funds for making friendly /accessible environment for differently abled students with in the campus. In India most of the universities are not in a position to take the initiative or responsibility to create friendly environment for students with disabilities, due to their uncertainties like lack co-ordination, awareness about the policies and needs of students with disabilities...

...Introduction The Ministry of Education of Bhutan takes charge in providing children with general education from the pre-primary level to Class 12 through the primary education. It is also responsible for training teachers and for the developing the curriculum and teaching-learning materials used in the classrooms. Primary education is provided free for six years under the goal of universal access to this level of education. Primary schools are inexpensive for parents but some of them cannot send their children to schools because of financial difficulties. To address this problem, the government has established the Bhutan Poverty Reduction Strategy Paper to improve access to and quality of primary education. Since the introduction of planned development in the early 1960s, the education system in Bhutan has grown from a mere 400 students in 11 schools to over 160,000 students in over 550 schools around the country. Education today is playing pivotal role not only in meeting country’s human resource needs but also improves the quality of life, which ultimately contribute to the achievement of GNH. Today, we have realized that the success of the country goes through the education system. Towards this, the education sector in Bhutan aspires to provide an education to every single citizen, such that they become the natural resource of the country, not just in terms of helping to plan and implement the further development of the country, but also by acting as a saleable resource...

...According to a research done by Doepker (2015), there is a rising need to merge the provision of multicultural education with literacy education. Despite the use of multicultural reforms, some of the teachers have resisted changing their attitudes about the African American culture. According to Flower (2014), the use of iPad has made it easy for the teachers to carry out their teaching activities and that has made research process to be easy. That has reduced the gap existing in providing education to the black American children. According to Jones-Prather (2011), teachers should have effective personal characteristics in order to be able to provide effective education to the various students. According to Voight et al., (2015), Sanetti et al., (2014), Coker et al., (2016) and Yilmaz, F. (2016), racial ethnicity still exists in the special education schools and it has to be addressed through provision of multicultural education to the various students regardless of their ethnic and racial backgrounds. Review of Methodological Issues According to the various researchers used in coming up with the study, the generalization of the findings found in the research was limited, Hunters and Hayden (2014) research had a small sample size and it failed to address the...
