Ensuring inclusive and quality education for all persons with disabilities

Persons with disabilities remain less likely to attend school and complete primary education and more likely to be illiterate than persons without disabilities. Available data reveals that, on average, one in three children with disabilities of primary school age is out of school, compared with one in seven children without disabilities. Primary school completion is also lower for children with disabilities. These trends are reflected in the lower literacy rate of persons with disabilities. 

See our new policy brief and infographic for more information on how to ensure inclusive and quality education for all persons with disabilities.
