Good-quality data are key to eliminating discrimination based on disability and to accelerating global progress towards inclusive policies and programmes, including in education.
The Child Functioning Module released by UNICEF and the Washington Group on Disability Statistics in 2016 has been used in more than 60 countries to generate data on the wellbeing of children with disabilities, including in terms of their access to education.
Two new data collection instruments have been developed: Child Functioning Module – Teacher Version and the Inclusive Education Module.
Join us for the launch of these tools!
