Types of compensatory education
Compensatory education Plan is the general name of all kinds of plans to ensure the right of children in need to enjoy proper education. The "difficulties" here refer not only to economic difficulties, but also to cultural difficulties and poor physical conditions. It mainly includes: black children's compensation plan, high vision plan, brain enlightenment plan, free lunch plan, disabled children's compensation plan and so on.

Compensation scheme for black children

1954, a case of "Brown v. Topeka Education Bureau" happened in the United States: Linda Brown, an American black student, had to walk a long way through a railway shunting factory every day to reach her school in Topeka, Kansas. There is a school near her home, but that school only enrolls white students. Linda's father decided to let her study in this white school. After being rejected, he took the education commission to court. The Supreme Court of the United States ruled that the law of "separation but equality" was unconstitutional, which meant that whites and blacks should be treated equally. This historic decision allowed black children and white children to study in the same school, ending racial education segregation. From 65438 to 0965, the United States Congress passed the immigration bill and abolished the immigration quota system. As a result, there was an immigration tide in the United States, and the number of children whose mother tongue was not English increased. In order to ensure that these children get proper education, the US Congress passed the Bilingual Education Act in 1968. According to the law, if a child whose mother tongue is not English has learning difficulties due to language barriers, the federal government will allocate funds to set up bilingual courses for him. Help them learn English and adapt to the new cultural and language environment as soon as possible. There are a large number of immigrants in some areas, so they set up bilingual schools to meet the needs of students.

Compensation scheme for disabled children

The plan is mainly aimed at the education of disabled children. In order to protect the rights of disabled children in public schools, Congress passed the Vocational Rehabilitation Act in 1973, which stipulates that disabled children in the United States have the right to participate in any projects and activities funded by the federal government and enjoy their welfare. Article 504 of the Law guarantees the right of disabled children to receive education in public schools. If public schools refuse to do so, they will not receive federal funding. From 65438 to 0975, Congress passed the Disabled Children's Education Act, stipulating that schools should be funded by the federal government to ensure that all students receive "free and appropriate education". 1The Law on Education for Disabled Children in June 1990 was changed to the Law on Education for Disabled Persons, which stipulated that individual education plans should be provided to every child, that is, plans suitable for each child's special needs should be formulated. This not only ensures the right of disabled children to receive education, but also ensures that they receive appropriate education.
