Learning is for everyone: global report
Paving the pathway for inclusive education for children with disabilities
Highlights
What does it take to build education systems that work for all learners?
Drawing on evidence from Cambodia, Djibouti, Kyrgyzstan, Mozambique, Nepal, and Paraguay, this report synthesizes the findings of the Learning is for Everyone (LiFE) research initiative, a multi-country study examining how education systems can better respond to the needs of children with disabilities and learning differences. Combining system-level analysis with the experiences of children, parents, teachers, head teachers and policymakers, as well as a targeted literature review and secondary analysis of learning data, the report provides a comprehensive picture of the barriers and opportunities for implementing disability-inclusive education.
The findings show that exclusion is not inevitable. Through sustained commitment to recognizing learners' needs, reforming education systems, and resourcing inclusion, countries can create learning environments where all children are able to participate, learn and thrive. The report offers evidence-informed recommendations for governments, partners and education stakeholders working to advance inclusive education at scale.
