To realize an inclusive society, a child with disabilities should not be excluded from a school in the local community, if he or she and the guardians wish to attend the school. There is a child at the center of a case, which the child and the parents sued the boards of education in 2018 because they took measures that the child should attended to a special school: even though, the child and the parents refused the action. According to the order of enforcement of the school education act, a board of education designate a special school if a child has disabilities. However, the child and the parents wish to attend a local school, the board of education should respect to rights of their self-determination. Based on the general comment of the Convention of Rights of Persons with Disabilities, segregated models of education, which exclude students with disabilities from mainstream and inclusive education on the basis of disability, contravene the Convention. The Convention requires States parties to take all appropriate steps to ensure that reasonable accommodation is provided.
