Social inclusion of people with disabilities in Vietnam: An explanation from educational experiences
Social
inclusion of people with disabilities in Vietnam: An
explanation from educational experiences
Tran
Van Kham (pp 221-231)
Abstract:
Recent
statistics show a high ratio of people with disabilities in Vietnam, and they
are facing difficulties in their daily lives. There are numerous significant
legal documents and policies supporting people with disabilities but the
well-being of disabled people has improved little. They are still less
supported to have an independent life or to be comprehensively empowered. In an eastern
country with high traditional value on the role of education, it is found that wider
Vietnamese society and people with disabilities themselves recognise education
as the best way to deal with such life challenges. So, from survey findings by
Vietnam Association for the Handicapped (2013-2014) in Hanoi and Danang, this
paper focuses on how people with disabilities experience their lives in
educational contexts in order to gather a fuller perspective of their social
inclusion and to propose the implication of further measures of support for
their well-being.
Keywords:
Social Inclusion; people with disabilities; disability; social
