“Learning is discovery”

“People don’t learn in isolation, they do it with others.

We learn by interacting with others, because we teach one another and

we all learn from each other.”

PABLO PINEDA

“One in twenty children, up to the age of 14, live with a moderate or severe

disability.”

93 million children

“Children with disabilities are among the world’s most

marginalized and excluded children.”

World Health Organization – World Bank 2011

Education should be inclusive at all levels and it should ensure

equal access to the same general education offered to all.

Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities - 2006

all children from a community learn together regardless

of their personal, social or cultural condition, including

those with disability
