A PATH TO INCLUSIVE QUALITY EDUCATION FOR LEARNERS WITH DISABILITY
According to UNICEF, about 95% of children with disabilities in developing countries are out of school and 90% of them may never gain access to basic education in their lifetime. In actual terms, UNESCO report indicates that there are over 10.5 million out of school children in Nigeria. It will not be out of place to estimate that 5 to 7 million of them are children with disabilities. This projection is in line with World Bank and WHO projections that persons with disabilities constitute about 15% of populations in developing countries and that between 80 to 90% of them don’t gain access to basic needs of life especially basic education. The primary underlying causes of this situation are the exclusive and inaccessible nature, structure and system of virtually most primary and secondary schools across Africa;  the confinement of the education of children and young adults with disabilities to very few, poorly staffed, poorly equipped and outdated special schools; very low public awareness on issues of inclusive education; inadequate institutional and human capacities required to implement inclusive education; and inadequate, poor implementation or non-availability of appropriate legal and policy frameworks required for the implementation of inclusive education for children with disabilities.


In a bid to fully gain real data in the underlying concerns around special needs education in Africa so as to proffer sustainable solutions to these underlying problems,  we are conducting a survey to fully gain insight on the educational, social and economic barriers affecting inclusive and quality education for children and young adults with special needs.

We will appreciate your honest feedback. Thank you.
