Education for the blind and deaf refers to the education for the blind and deaf. Education targets also include deaf, hard of hearing, amblyopia, deafness and other sensory organ defects. 195 1 China has incorporated the education of the blind and deaf into the national education system and established special schools. Education for the blind and deaf uses special methods and equipment, such as using blind characters, sign language, visual AIDS and hearing AIDS.
Vocational skills training enables them to make a living by themselves. Some of them have made achievements in literature, music and medical skills after receiving education. However, the special school education for the blind and the deaf rose from modern times. The world's first school for deaf children (1770) and the first school for blind children (1784) were both built in Paris, France.
China established the first school for blind children in Beijing in the 13th year of Tongzhi in Qing Dynasty (1874). It's called Qi Ming Mingmu Hospital. In the 13th year of Guangxu in Qing Dynasty (1887), the first deaf-mute school was established in Dengzhou (now Penglai County), Shandong Province, and then moved to Yantai. The education for the blind and deaf in old China was very backward and developed slowly.
By 1948, there were only 42 schools for the blind and deaf in China, with 2,380 students and 360 teaching staff. Schools are not only few in number, but also located in big cities, serving property owners, and the blind and deaf children of working people and rural people cannot receive education.
5 1 10 The Decision on Reforming the Academic System promulgated by the State Council, the Central People's Government, points out: "People's governments at all levels should also set up schools for the deaf and blind to educate children, young people and adults with physical defects." The education for the blind and deaf has been incorporated into the national education system, and the primary education in deaf-mute schools has been determined as 10 years, and the school for blind children has been 6 years.
After 1976, the primary education in schools for the deaf changed to eight years, and the primary education in schools for the blind changed to five years. Some schools try out 9-year or 10-year primary education and provide vocational training.
