Quality inclusive education for persons with disabilities

The State party should strengthen anti-discrimination provisions to explicitly cover disability-based discrimination in education and to provide an accessible and effective complaint mechanism.

The State party should adopt national standards for the provision of effective individualized support measures in mainstream education, and allocate sufficient financial and human resources to ensure that persons with disabilities receive the support required to facilitate inclusive education.

The State party should ensure that all teachers have the appropriate skills for individualized instruction and ensure that individualized support measures do not entail costs for parents of children with disabilities.

The State party should introduce legislation based on the human rights model of disability that fully complies with article 24 of the Convention in order to ensure quality inclusive education for all children.

The State party should take measures to guarantee that students with disabilities receive training in the skills necessary to enhance their learning capability, in an environment adapted to suit their specific requirements within an inclusive education system.
