Educational Benefits

During the last few years a number of western countries have made recommendations through reports and legislation that they felt would provide significant educational benefits for handicapped children through the modification of their educational systems. Great Britain has also been mindful that changes should be made to provide a more meaningful education for exceptional children and established a committee under the Chairmanship of Mary Warnock to investigate special education. Salient recommendations from the resultant document, entitled Special Educational Needs: Report of the Committee of Enquiry into the Education of Handicapped Children and Young People are presented.

The main goal of this article is to describe the legal status and situation of disabled learners in Poland, the UK and in other European countries. The author wishes to analyze whether the trends advocated by the principles of Political Correctness (PC) have influenced the language used in the educational context, and, in particular, towards students of special education needs (SEN). The article attempts to demonstrate that neither English nor Polish are sufficiently polite in terms of describing, categorizing, evaluating or naming all the learners, who, owing to their mental or physical impairment, have Special Educational Needs.
