Abstract

There are about 4.86 million persons with disabilities (PwDs) in Malaysia but only 1.58 per cent of them registered with the Malaysian Department of Social Welfare. The factor that must be taken into consideration to improve the quality of life of PwDs in Malaysia is their educational right since education is very important to someone’s life, including children with disabilities. This paper discusses the effectiveness of the law relating to the educational right of children with disabilities in Malaysia through current laws and policies. Suggestions are also provided to improve the effectiveness of laws relating to their educational right.
