Deaf education is the education of students with various hearing levels in a way that addresses the students' individual differences and needs. Ideally, this process involves the individually planned and systematically monitored arrangement of teaching procedures, adapted equipment and materials, accessible settings, and other interventions designed to help learners of various hearing levels achieve a higher level of personal self-sufficiency, and success in school and community than would be available if the students were only given access to a typical classroom education. With a long time of trying to improve Deaf Education, many countries focus on training teachers for deaf students, take lots of approaches to achieve the expected level of this particular education, and they also try to build associations to protect deaf students. Even though we are still facing many issues about Deaf Education in this world, but no country stops contributing themselves on this needed education.

Famous quotes containing the words deaf and/or education:
“I will be deaf to pleading and excuses.
Nor tears nor prayers shall purchase out abuses.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“Whatever may be our just grievances in the southern states, it is fitting that we acknowledge that, considering their poverty and past relationship to the Negro race, they have done remarkably well for the cause of education among us. That the whole South should commit itself to the principle that the colored people have a right to be educated is an immense acquisition to the cause of popular education.”
—Fannie Barrier Williams (1855–1944)
