The main policy objective of special education is to enable children with special educational needs to fully develop their individual potential. We encourage students with special educational needs to receive education in ordinary schools as far as possible, or in special schools when necessary.

Special education episodes and online game
While the video produced by EDB and the online game “Special Education Challenge” will let the public know more about the government policies relating to supporting students with SEN, the short videos produced by schools will give them a better understanding of different types of special schools.

During the epidemic, the Education Bureau has been making due effort to provide anti-epidemic support for special schools.
Respect and embrace individual differences
In an inclusive and caring learning environment, students learn to respect and embrace individual differences.
Extending students’ potential to the fullest
Every student is unique and should be given equal learning opportunities to realise their potential at different stages of development.
Catering for students’ diverse learning needs in ordinary schools
Schools should holistically and flexibly deploy various school and community resources to promote an inclusive school culture.
Providing intensive support for students in special schools
Subject to the assessment and recommendations of specialists and the consent of parents, the Education Bureau will refer students with more severe or multiple disabilities to aided special schools for intensive support services.
Home-school cooperation in building an inclusive school culture
We have been encouraging parents to take the initiative to contact schools to understand the learning progress of their children with special educational needs, give feedback to schools on the support strategies and complement with the school-based measures when looking after their children.
Creating an inclusive environment
We advise schools to create an inclusive environment that encourages students to learn from their peers and embrace the differences in backgrounds, experience and abilities.
