When speaking about education, we can't just think about the ordinary human being called "normal", but it should also address diversity. Curriculum accommodations, adaptations and physical accessibility are greatly important for educational inclusion to exist. A paradigm shift for educators involves the knowledge and acknowledgement of what disability is. On this note we outline from the legal standard all the instruments currently available which guarantee the right to education of personswith disabilities. Not only it is the Law or the standard, but there has to exist knowledge and acknowledgement of what it is in order for everyone to apply and comply.

Persons with disabilities have the right to enjoy the human rights to life, liberty, equality, security and dignity as human beings. However, due to social apathy, psychological barriers, a limited definition of “disability” entitled to the protection of the law and lack of proper data, persons with disabilities in India remain an invisible category. Although many laws set out to ensure their full and effective participation in society, they remain inadequate as they are based primarily on the discretion of the government. Also, the judiciary acts as the real protector of persons with disabilities whenever an opportunity arises, but it is not possible to approach the judiciary for every request. Unless the foundation of the law is strengthened, persons with disabilities cannot fully exercise their rights. The present research paper mentions the contemporary situation of people with disabilities with the current laws and concepts, and also the researcher believes that it is not only the law that will provide a solution to this problem, it is the change in the outlook of the society which may provide a solution to this problem. Thus, the horizons of the law should be expanded to provide a “human friendly environment” for all persons with disabilities to remove the barriers that impede their development. With timely implementation the time has come for effective legislation to protect their interests and empower their capabilities which are based on “rights–based approach” rather than charity, medical or social approach.

Within the framework of the process of enrollment expansion in teacher training (in the context of the expansion of the higher education level), some Latin American countries have developed specific policies for the student population of teacher training institutions. In this article we analyze how these policies bring new questions to the field of teacher training, linked to the ways in which “new” students are questioned and their effects on the construction of teaching positions. For this, we address a series of speeches from international organizations (with marked influence in the region), which coincide in describing future teachers as deficit subjects. At the same time, we go through a set of student policies that assumed diverse orientations regarding the right to education of these populations and regarding the right of their future students. We understand that these policies and discourses have an effect on the configuration of teaching positions with respect to educational inclusion.

In Latin America different policies sustained in State-Civil Society alliances are implemented in order to warrant the right to education in marginalized sectors. Uruguay and Argentina carry out “bridge” programs and “completion” plans for adolescents, youngsters and adults to enter, re-enter or finish Medium Level Studies. I compare the characteristics of the alliance State-Civil Society in the co-management of the “Aulas Comunitarias” (Communitarian Classrooms) Program (PAC, Uruguay, 2007) and the “Plan de Finalización de Estudios Secundarios para Jóvenes y Adultos” (Finalization of Secondary Studies for youngsters and adults Plan) (FinEs 2, Argentina, 2008), aiming to understand their contributions to the processes of educational inclusion, as well as their limits. I analyze their genesis, political-institutional design/ways of organization and form of co-management contemplating: a) political-institutional approach to analyze public policy, b) Neo-institutionalism: sociopolitical as well as organizational and historic, c) co-management, d) educational management (paradigms: administrative and strategic). I implement a qualitative methodology, selecting co-management (as performed until December, 2015) as the unit of analysis. The findings show that PAC y FinEs 2 warrant the right to education supported by the attachment of several actors and sectors to their objectives. The quality of the contribution of alliances differs according the political-institutional design, kind of organization and forms of co-management: PAC shows a strategic co-management and FinEs 2 and administrative co-management.

The results of this study, first, legal norms used to burden the obligation to fulfill the right of accessibility of persons with disabilities to business actors are mandatory norms not prohibitors, business actors do not have legal awareness because they do not know about these obligations and apparatuses also do not have legal norms this is because of ignorance of this obligation, second, in the perspective of legal consumer protection, accessibility is a consumer right specifically for persons with disabilities given Law No. 8 of 2016 and also the obligation of business actors provided by Law No. 22 of 2009, there is no realization of accessibility rights in transportation, business people have ignored consumer rights of disability as well as obligations that must be fulfilled by business actors, maqashid Syariah's perspective sees the implications of not achieving transportation accessibility rights can result in their limited mobility to find work which leads to acts requesting that this need collide with hifdz al-mal and al-'urd. Third, the solution for fulfilling the right of accessibility of persons with disabilities in the transportation sector is (1) Establishment of a National Disability Commission that can advocate for the neglect of the rights of persons with disabilities in macro, (2) legal literacy as a legal literacy media on the rights of persons with disabilities.</em></p><p><em> </em></p><em>Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mendeskripsikan pertama,<strong> </strong>faktor utama penyebab tidak bisa bekerjanya hukum pemenuhan hak asesibilitas transportasi bagi penyandang disabilitas di Jawa Timur, kedua, tinjauan hukum perindungan konsumen dan maqashid syariah terhadap tidak terpenuhinya hak aksesibilitas transportasi bagi penyandang disabilitas, ketiga, solusi hukum terhadap pemenuhan hak aksesibilitas transportasi penyandang disabilitas di Jawa Timur. Metode penelitian yang digunakan adalah penelitian empiris dengan pendekatan yuridis sosiologis yaitu terkait dengan efektivitas hukum pemenuhan hak aksesibilitas penyandang disabilitas dibidang transportasi, yang bertumpuh kepada data primer yang didapat melalui wawancara bebas terpimpin dari sumber data primer pula yaitu: (1) Dinas Perhubungan Provinsi Jawa Timur, (2) Dewan Perwakilan Daerah Organisasi Angkutan Jalan Raya (Organda) Jawa Timur, yang kemudian dianalisis secara deskriptif analisis dengan pola deduktif. Adapun hasil penelitian ini, pertama, norma hukum yang digunakan untuk membebani kewajiban pemenuhan hak aksesibilitas penyandang disabilitas kepada pelaku usaha adalah norma mandatur bukan prohibitor, pelaku usaha tidak memiliki kesadaran hukum karena mereka tidak mengetahui tentang kewajiban ini dan apparat juga tidak memiliki keterikatan dengan norma hukum ini karena ketidaktahuan terhadap kewajiban ini, kedua, dalam perspektif hukum perlindungan konsumen, aksesibilitas merupakan hak konsumen khusus bagi penyandang disabilitas yang diberikan Undang-Undang No. 8 Tahun 2016 dan juga merupakan kewajiban pelaku usaha yang diberikan oleh Undang-Undang No. 22 Tahun 2009, tidak terealisasinya hak aksesibilitas dalam transportasi, pelaku usaha telah mengabaikan hak konsumen disabilitas sekaigus juga kewajiban yang harus dipenuhi oleh pelaku usaha, perspektif maqashid Syariah melihat implikasi tidak terwujudnya hak aksesibilitas transportasi dapat mengakibatkan sempitnya mobilitas mereka untuk mencari pekerjaan sehingga berujung pada perbuatan meminta minta yang terntunya ini berbenturan dengan hifdz al-mal dan al-‘urd. Ketiga, solusi agar hak aksesbilitas penyandang disabilitas di bidang transportasi terpenuhi adalah (1) Pembentukan Komisi Disabilitas Nasional yang bisa mengadvokasi pengabaian hak-hak penyandang disbailitas secara makro, (2) legal literacy sebagai media melek hukum tentang hak-hak penyandang disabilitas.</em>

This chapter examines Article 26 of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities, which reaffirms the relevance of rehabilitation as a means for the full enjoyment of the right to the highest attainable standard of physical and mental health, the right to employment, the right to education, and the right to independent living of persons with disability. The focus of the article is on access to rehabilitation services and programmes. Article 26 addresses both rehabilitation and habilitation to mark the distinction between services and supports that return an individual to a situation of independence, ability, inclusion, and participation—such as would be experienced prior to an injury or the onset of a health condition—as well as services and supports that bring the individual to maximal independence—in the case of children born with congenital impairments.

This article examines the rights of persons with disabilities in the field of inclusive education based on fundamental human rights outlined in the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities. Inclusive education is essential to achieve universal respect for the right to education, including persons with disabilities. Only inclusive education systems can offer persons with disabilities both quality education and the opportunity to improve their social situation. Inclusive education is not just about placing students with disabilities in mainstream educational institutions; it also means making them feel welcome, respected and valued. The values that underlie the concept of inclusive education reinforce the capacity of everyone to achieve their goals and to conceive of diversity as a source of enrichment. Students with disabilities need appropriate support to participate in the education system on an equal basis with other students. Ordinary educational institutions must provide students with disabilities with a learning environment that maximizes academic progress and socialization.

The purpose of this research is to fulfill the rights of persons with disabilities to obtain jobs following their fields without reducing their rights. The research method used is normative juridical with literature study. Decent work is a right for every human being without exception. Various racial, ethnic, and religious backgrounds that are part of a human's identity do not become a barrier for him to get his right. Likewise with the physical or non-physical conditions that underlie a human being. Every human being who has a certain physical or non-physical background also has the same rights to get decent work, including persons with disabilities. The State of Indonesia ratified the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities into Law Number 19 of 2011. In the preamble of the law, it was explained that the countries that signed the convention had the obligation to promote and protect the rights and dignity of persons with disabilities and promote their participation in the civil, political, economic, social, and cultural spheres is based on equal opportunities, meaning that the Indonesian Government is obliged by law to fulfill the rights of persons with disabilities, especially about the right to work in Indonesia.
