Inclusive Education For All. Let's Break Silos for Disability-Inclusive Education. Infopoint session 21/04/2021

In many countries, children with disabilities often fail to receive even the most basic education and do not progress to secondary and tertiary levels of education and training.

They face obstacles both within and outside the education system. Within the education system, obstacles include inaccessible infrastructures, non-adapted materials, non-adapted curricula, lack of teachers’ preparation, and segregation in separated settings. Outside the education system, obstacles encompass the persisting stigma and discrimination towards persons with disabilities, limited access to quality health care, lack of assistive technologies and devices, violence and lack of security, inaccessible or unsafe journey to school, and poverty of the households.

The existence of multiple and interconnected factors causing education exclusion requires stakeholders to break with siloed approaches.

This infopoint conference will address how to work collaboratively across sectors (education, health, rehabilitation, protection, livelihood…).
