The Global Challenges
-
Ninety per cent of children with disabilities in developing countries do not attend school, says UNESCO. (UNESCO)
-
Family members and primary care providers assume responsibility for children’s learning and lack access to evidence based practical, culturally relevant tools to support learning.
-
Education systems lack access to evidence based strategies, the tools toand train and provide quality education.
-
Many cultural barriers and social stigmas continue to perpetuate segregation and isolation of children, youth and adults with disabilities.
