Highlights

Every child in India has the fundamental right to elementary education, including children with disabilities. India was one of the first countries to ratify the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD), showing its strong commitment to upholding the rights of persons with disabilities and to ensuring that children with disabilities have access to inclusive, quality education. This guidebook, Making Schools Accessible to Children with Disabilities, is a useful resource towards creating inclusive, barrier-free school environments in which children with disabilities can learn and thrive alongside their peers.
