The Global Institution of Special Education
The Global Institution of Special Education
In 1957, the first survey of special education conducted by the United Nations revealed its presence worldwide, yielding data on the total numbers of students in schools and classes by gender and category. This chapter presents cross-national analyses of the first international surveys carried out by the United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) on the variation of special education classification and participation rates. It examines the structure of special education as a global institution, underscoring the raised awareness of disabilities and special educational needs, and special education provisions worldwide.
