Morphology
The meaning is directly inferable from combining 'special' (not ordinary / for particular needs) with 'education' (formal learning): it denotes education tailored for specific needs or disabilities. This compositional pattern is cross-linguistically common (e.g. Spanish 'educación especial', French 'éducation spécialisée'), so a B1 learner who knows both constituents can reliably predict the meaning.
Etymology
Special education comes from schools creating special classes or teaching and arranging education in a different way for students who learn differently. That's why special education means 'education for students with physical, mental, or learning disabilities'.
