In this blog, the authors reflect on the Global Disability Summit and disability inclusive education:
“The third Global Disability Summit takes place this week in Berlin, and policymakers, educators, and civil society actors attending will reflect on the progress made in making education more inclusive, and what challenges remain to be tackled. All children, including children with disabilities, deserve the opportunity to be in school and learn so they acquire the skills and knowledge to thrive and eventually have jobs. While there has been some headway made in the 10 years since the paper ‘Towards a Disability Inclusive Education,’ there is still much more that needs to be done.”
The authors ask: “How can we accelerate efforts to help children with disabilities access quality education?”
