Abstract

Though the system of special education for people with disabilities has been implemented in Vietnam for more than 150 years, there is no common organization and opeartion among special educational facilities for people with disabilities among provinces/cities across the country. The article analyzes the system of special education for people with disabilities in Japan; and the current status of the network of special educational institutions for people with disabilities in Vietnam. On that basis, it proposes experiences from the specialized education system of Japan to arrange and develop specialized educational institutions for people with disabilities in Vietnam in the coming time, with the goal of stabilizing and improving the efficiency of the facilities, contributing to creating opportunities for quality learning and lifelong learning for people with disabilities
