Including every child, benefitting all : international disability-inclusive education / Ali Ehsassi, chair ; Subcommittee on International Human Rights, Fayçal El-Khoury, chair. : XC11-1/1-441-24E-PDF

"One in ten children worldwide, a total of nearly 240 million children, lives with disability. These children often face obstacles to accessing quality education. Traditional school systems and education programs are not always adapted to the diverse needs of people with disabilities, nor are they designed with accessibility in mind. Disability-inclusive education is needed to ensure all learners can access a proper education, as their human right. Motion M-78, agreed to unanimously in the House of Commons on 27 September 2023, recognized the global need of children with disabilities to access education and stated the House’s opinion that where the federal government spends money on education, consideration must be given to the maximum inclusion of people with disabilities. In this context, the Subcommittee on International Human Rights of the House of Commons Standing Committee on Foreign Affairs (the Subcommittee) agreed to conduct a study on disability-inclusive education internationally. Over the course of four meetings, the Subcommittee heard from 33 witnesses, including representatives from non-governmental organizations (NGOs) responsible for funding, designing and delivering inclusive education worldwide, and persons with lived experience of disability. In keeping with the Subcommittee’s mandate to study international human rights issues, the study focused on the status of disability-inclusive education internationally; it did not address education provision within Canada"--Introduction, page 5.
