Abstract

The protection of persons with disabilities is a concern not only of each state, but also of the entire international community. Over time, legal documents have been adopted at the international, regional and national levels, mechanisms have been created to monitor compliance by states with the commitments they have made, international, regional and national strategies have been developed that propose concrete measures and actions to protect this category of vulnerable persons, all of which constitute important benchmarks in the joint action of the actors involved in respecting and consolidating the rights of persons with disabilities In this paper, we will highlight the legal achievements regarding legislative intervention regarding the rights of students with disabilities, focusing on the triad of inclusion-accessibility-equality of opportunity. For the elaboration of the paper we have used as research methods the analysis of problems generated by the mentioned subject with reference to doctrinal views expressed in treaties and papers, the documentary research, the interpretation of legal norms in the matter.
