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:
“and the deaf soul
struggles, strains forward, to lip-read what it needs:
and something is said, quickly,
in words of cloud-shadows moving and
the unmoving turn of the road, something
not quite caught ...”
—Denise Levertov (b. 1923)
“Columbus stood in his age as the pioneer of progress and enlightenment. The system of universal education is in our age the most prominent and salutary feature of the spirit of enlightenment, and it is peculiarly appropriate that the schools be made by the people the center of the day’s demonstration. Let the national flag float over every schoolhouse in the country and the exercises be such as shall impress upon our youth the patriotic duties of American citizenship.”
—Benjamin Harrison (1833–1901)
