PT Journal AU Zbortekova, K TI Inclusive education - its social and ethical aspect SO Journal of Exceptional People PY 2012 BP 47 EP 52 VL 1 IS 1 DE Inclusive education; hearing impairment; academic competencies; social inclusion AB Inclusive education of children with special educational needs, conditioned by health or social disadvantage, was again the topic of political parties in their election rivalry. The election programs of political opponents agree in that respect that special schools are the anachronism and the brake of personal and social development of students. The paper will focus on motives of such an attitude and will concentrate on some ethical issues of integrated education of hearing-impaired children and youth. We will rely on our several-year research and consulting practice. ER
