Challenges facing the right of persons with disabilities to education
Abstract
Students with disabilities in educational systems face numerous challenges that hinder their effective inclusion and academic achievement. Among the most prominent of these difficulties is the lack of suitable infrastructure, as many schools lack essential facilities like ramps and elevators, making physical access a significant barrier. Educational systems also suffer from insufficient teacher training in addressing the diverse needs of students with disabilities, and the absence of flexible, tailored curricula.
Furthermore, social stigma and stereotypes negatively impact students' self-confidence and limit their opportunities for full integration. There's also a shortage of specialized psychological and social support within schools, along with a scarcity of assistive technology and adaptive educational tools. Coordination between families, schools, and the community is often weak, which reduces the effectiveness of inclusion efforts. These obstacles contribute to higher dropout rates and a decline in the quality of education provided, thereby depriving individuals with disabilities of equal opportunities to build their future.
