The right to inclusive education 2016, para. 66
Paragraph- Paragraph text
- In accordance with Article 31, States parties must collect appropriate disaggregated data to formulate policies, plans and programmes to fulfill their obligations under Article 24.They must introduce measures to address the lack of accurate data on prevalence of persons with different impairments, as well as the lack of sufficient quality research and data relating to access to, permanence, and progress within education, provision of reasonable accommodation and the associated outcomes. Census, survey and administrative data, including Education Management Information System (EMIS), must capture data on students with disabilities including those still living in institutional settings. States parties should also gather disaggregated data and evidence on the barriers that prevent persons with disabilities from having access to, remaining in, and making progress in inclusive quality education to enable the adoption of effective measures to dismantle such barriers. Strategies must be adopted to overcome the exclusion of persons with disabilities from standard quantitative and qualitative data gathering mechanisms, including reluctance of parents to admit the existence of a child with a disability, lack of birth registration, or invisibility within institutions.
