中国聋教育始于19世纪80年代,滞后于西方百年。20世纪前半期,中国处于半封建、半殖民地旧社会,聋教育发展缓慢。新中国诞生后,建立了社会主义社会,由于共产党的领导,聋教育事业有了较大发展。特别是在80年代改革开放以来,发展迅猛。如今,全国大多数省、市、县办有聋校,聋童入学率有很大提高,形成了一个涵盖学前教育、九年义务教育、高中教育、职业教育(含中专),高等教育的聋教育体制。经过教育,绝大多数聋人能自立于社会、服务于社会,奉献于社会。这应该说是我们社会主义国家聋教育的一个可喜的成 Deaf education in China began in the 1880s and lagged behind in the West for centuries. In the first half of the 20th century, China was in a semi-feudal and semi-colonial society and deaf education was developing slowly. After the birth of New China, a socialist society was established. Thanks to the leadership of the Communist Party, there has been a great development in deaf education. Especially since the reform and opening up in the 1980s, it has developed rapidly. Nowadays, the enrollment rate of deaf schools and deaf children in most provinces, cities and counties across the country has greatly increased, forming a comprehensive system covering pre-school education, nine-year compulsory education, senior secondary education, vocational education (including technical secondary schools) and higher education Deaf education system. After education, the vast majority of the deaf people can stand on their own in the community, serve the community and contribute to society. This should be said that it is a gratifying achievement for deaf education in our socialist countries
