　　The current regulation, which was promulgated³ in 1994, only ensures education for people with sight, listening, speaking and intellectual impairments.

　　The newly-revised draft was released Monday by the Legislative⁴ Affairs Office of the State Council at chinalaw.gov.cn to solicit⁵ public opinion until March 25.

　　The 50-article rules cover education for the handicapped at both ordinary schools and special educational institutions, teachers for the disabled and the supervision⁶ and guarantee of such education.

　　Stressing equal rights for both ordinary and disabled people, the draft specifies⁷ detailed⁸ conditions only in which schools are allowed to refuse the admission of disabled children as well as a mechanism⁹ to solve admission-related conflicts.

　　According to the draft, only children who suffer serious disabilities or severe physical or mental impairments and need special care or professional support can be deemed unsuitable for normal school education. Such cases must be verified by educational committees at or above county level.

　　In addition, the draft urges ordinary schools to make efforts to improve their own capabilities¹⁰ to educate as well as create a sound environment for disabled students. They are also encouraged to arrange special curriculums for these students.
