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.
