Man: The International Day of Persons with Disabilities started in 1992. Now it happens every year. It highlights issues that are an everyday concern for millions of people around the world. Organizers hope to promote global understanding of disability issues and recognize the rights and dignity of people with disabilities. People act in many ways to increase awareness, including organizing events, workshops and campaigns in support of the day.
Disability affects all societies and almost all families at some time. More than 650 million people across the globe live with disabilities. In richer nations, there are very good support systems for the disabled. However, in poorer nations, people with disabilities are further disabled by a lack of help, care, medicines and rights. It is a sad fact that 80 per cent of people with disabilities live in poorer countries. There is a very strong link between poverty and disability. The situation is also tragic for children. UNESCO says 90 per cent of children with disabilities in developing countries do not go to school. It is important we act on this day!

Người đàn ông: Ngày quốc tế của những người khuyết tật bắt đầu vào năm 1992. Bây giờ nó diễn ra hàng năm. Nó nhấn mạnh các vấn đề là mối quan tâm hàng ngày của hàng triệu người trên thế giới. Các nhà tổ chức hy vọng sẽ thúc đẩy sự hiểu biết trên toàn cầu về các vấn đề khuyết tật và công nhận quyền và nhân phẩm của người khuyết tật. Mọi người hành động theo nhiều cách để tăng cường nhận thức, bao gồm tổ chức các sự kiện, hội thảo và các chiến dịch hỗ trợ trong ngày.
Khuyết tật ảnh hưởng đến toàn xã hội và hầu hết tất cả các gia đình tại một số thời điểm. Hơn 650 triệu người trên toàn cầu sống với khuyết tật. Ở các quốc gia giàu hơn, có những hệ thống hỗ trợ rất tốt cho người khuyết tật. Tuy nhiên, ở các quốc gia nghèo, người khuyết tật lại bị tàn tật thêm do thiếu sự giúp đỡ, chăm sóc, thuốc men và quyền lợi. Một thực tế đáng buồn là 80% người khuyết tật sống ở các nước nghèo. Có một mối liên kết rất mạnh mẽ giữa nghèo đói và khuyết tật. Tình hình này cũng bi thảm cho trẻ em. UNESCO cho biết 90% trẻ em khuyết tật ở các nước đang phát triển không đến trường. Điều quan trọng là chúng ta hành động ngay bây giờ!

ARE TRADITIONAL WAYS OF LEARNING THE BEST?
Read about some alternative schools of thought…
One school in Hampshire, UK, offers 24-hour teaching. The children can decide when or if they come to school. The school is open from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m., for 364 days a year and provides online teaching throughout the night. The idea is that pupils don't have to come to school and they can decide when they want to study. Cheryl Heron, the head teacher, said “Some students learn better at night. Some students learn better in the morning.” Cheryl believes that if children are bored, they will not come to school. “Why must teaching only be conducted in a classroom? You can teach a child without him ever coming to school.”
Steiner schools encourage creativity and free thinking so children can study art, music and gardening as well as science and history. They don’t have to learn to read and write at an early age. At some Steiner schools the teachers can’t use textbooks. They talk to the children, who learn by listening. Every morning the children have to go to special music and movement classes called “eurhythmy”, which help them learn to concentrate. Very young children learn foreign languages through music and song. Another difference from traditional schools is that at Steiner schools you don't have to do any tests or exams.
A child learning music with the Suzuki method has to start as young as possible. Even two-year-old children can learn to play difficult pieces of classical music, often on the violin. They do this by watching and listening. They learn by copying, just like they learn their mother tongue. The child has to join in, but doesn't have to get it right. “They soon learn that they mustn't stop every time they make a mistake. They just carry on,” said one Suzuki trainer. The children have to practise for hours every day and they give performances once a week, so they learn quickly. “The parents must be involved too,” said the trainer, “or it just doesn't work.”
