Abstract:
The UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities should be regarded as a challenge to German education policy to finally establish a more comprehensive school system in Germany. There is no doubt that students with handicaps will find their place only in schools that respect and hold in high esteem every student, not only those with handicaps. The time of the traditional, highly separated special school system in Germany is over. Nevertheless we assume that we do need a variety of different forms of support in order to realize the right of every child to be educated. The building up of a school for all depends at least on the resources, mainly the human ones.
