Nepal Data Literacy Phase 3 Team Projects

Inclusive Education for People with Disabilities - Are We Doing Enough?

To create an online portal to track and map out implementation of inclusive policies in education for people with disabilities.


Goal of the Project

The goal of our project is to analyze whether the current government provisions in place regarding inclusive education for people with disabilities have been appropriately designed and implemented. We plan to achieve this by initiating an advocacy campaign through an online portal.


Summary of the Project

In the first phase of our project, our analysis identified progress in terms of the development of policies addressing this demographic, however, with major gaps in the design and implementation of the policies.

Moreover, the lack of disaggregated data proved to be very difficult in specifically assessing the impact of each policy. We realize the need for disaggregated disability population data for a more effective analysis of the current status.

We plan to advocate the need for data and research in this area. Our project plan is to create an online open data portal that will incorporate data from local and government sources, local and regional organizations, research institutes and the general public. With sufficient data, we plan to map out the specific provisions outlined in the policies to the progress towards SDG Goal 4: “Ensure inclusive and equitable quality education and promote lifelong learning opportunities for all”.
