Welcome to Child participation in Education Cluster coordination

Children and adults with disabilities are disproportionately impacted by humanitarian emergencies. However, their needs and priorities are often not clearly identified and they often face barriers to accessing humanitarian assistance. All humanitarian actors, including Education in Emergencies actors, have the responsibility to include children and adults with disabilities in their response. All children and young people have the right to education, but due to discrimination, including physical, communication, attitudinal and policy barriers they face to accessing assistance, children and young people with disabilities are often left out of Education responses. Implementing partners and coordination actors all have a role to play in ensuring children and young people with disabilities have access to a safe and quality education. 

In this course, we will explore:

• What disability inclusion means and why inclusive education is important; 
• Concrete actions Education partners can take to promote Disability Inclusion in their EiE response;
• What role Cluster/EiE Working Groups teams can play to better integrate Disability Inclusion in EiE programming.
