Abstract

Using disability-related documents, this qualitative study examines the guarantee of the right to education for people with disabilities in Indonesia from the perspectives of human rights and disability theory. In Indonesia, people with disabilities do not have the same access to inclusive education as students with special needs who are classified as exceptional by the government due to their physical, mental, and intellectual disorder. The government, as the party in charge of ensuring the right to an education, has paid less attention to implementing inclusive education. More research is required before this country can implement inclusive education. The author presumes the government has failed to fulfil the right to inclusive education for students with disabilities. According to this study, facilitating inclusive education quality have not met the needs of students with disabilities. The government must provide educational facilities and infrastructure for students with special needs as part of citizens' constitutional rights without discrimination. Keywords: inclusive education; disability; rights to education; special needs.
