Need to Commission a Study on the Quality of Education for Children with Disabilities in Zambia

We, Disability Rights Watch (DRW), in conjunction with Zambia Association of Parents for Children with Disabilities (ZAPCD) here write to your office to commission a study on the quality of education for children with disabilities in Zambia.

We make this submission owing to the fact that the experience of DRW and ZAPCD in working directly with children with disabilities, both those enrolled in school and those outside the school shows that there is a large disparity between the quality of education delivered to children with disabilities in comparison to their peers without disabilities. We make this appeal to have this study commissioned as soon as possible because we observe that the situation is receiving inadequate attention from the concerned Ministry responsible for education.The need to Commission a study on the quality of education for children with disabilities in Zambia
