Special Education in Germany

Year: 2024

Type: article

Abstract: Germany’s education system is continually evolving and advancing, especially within special education. The country’s history and the laws that have been implemented significantly shape special education as we know it today, yet unresolved issues persist in this field. One notable challenge is the divide between general education and special education, leading to limited inclusion of students with disabilities in schools. This article provides information about Germany’s demographics, the history of the country and its education system, and the laws and policies that affect people with disabilities in the country. Furthermore, it describes what the current systems look like, general and special education teacher preparation, and the issues found in the special education system today.
