Inclusive education: sign up now for online discussion!
Wanted: your views, experiences, ideas, suggestions and recommendations on inclusive education.
On behalf of the Education Taskforce of the Global Partnership on Children with Disabilities, UNESCO and UNICEF are organizing an online discussion from 22 April to 12 May to address the following questions:
What do we understand by the concept of inclusive education?
and
What are the key recommendations for an effective implementation of Article 24 of the Convention of the Rights of People with Disabilities?
Worldwide, more than one billion people live with some form of disability. Young people with disabilities have particular difficulty gaining access to both education and work and the right to education remains a challenge.
The online discussion will bring together civil society organizations, UN agencies, development agencies, NGOs, and academia who work to advance the rights of children with disabilities. This discussion is part of the 鈥淏uilding Inclusive Societies for Persons with Disabilities鈥 community which has been established for the promotion of the UN Convention on the Rights for Persons with Disabilities.
