We give a general picture of special education in China from its origin to
its latest developments, through quoting relevant historical and
official documents, authoritative statistics, monographs, and articles.
In ancient times China had rich ideological resources in the field;
however, the earliest special schools were created in the late 19th
century by Western missionaries. The developing pace of special
education has increased since the late 1970s; the legislation concerned
is being perfected. The efforts of the Chinese themselves, as well as
influences and supports from abroad, are key factors that have promoted
the development. Special education in China shares similar features with
that of the Western countries, while having some of its own
characteristics. China is facing many problems to be solved in
developing its special education field.

Answer: When an application is pending a decision it means that your school has received it and no admissions decision has been made yet. The admissions office may have reviewed your application package or may not have.
The main cause of a pending application is usually incomplete application documents. As a result you will be requested by the school’s admission office to re-check and modify all submitted application documents or perhaps even add extra documents and then re-submit them.
To avoid further delays, carefully read the university’s comments, modify your application form on ACASC, and re-upload the required application documents. You can contact ACASC on admission@acasc.cn for any help with regards to your pending application
Processing time varies for different applications. For example to process a degree program application requires more time than a Chinese language application. Confirmation for Chinese language application by the admission office usually takes 2 to 4 weeks. However, time for degree programs application differs. For example fall semester application processing is after March, and it takes a period of 1 to 2 months. This also depends on your qualification and the number of applicants.
