Human Rights Watch, in a report on barriers to education for persons with disabilities in China, concluded:
“While Chinese laws and regulations contain provisions prohibiting discrimination on the basis of disability, the provisions are often vague, fail to precisely define discrimination, and do not outline effective redress mechanisms.
The Chinese government also does not have a clear policy on ‘reasonable accommodation ’in mainstream schools — defined in the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities as ‘necessary and appropriate modification and adjustments not imposing a disproportionate or undue burden.’”
