Inclusion Europe is publishing a briefing on  

the lack of education for children with intellectual disabilities  

in the Coronavirus emergency.

 

Coronavirus changes many things.

But it highlights the ongoing segregation and

discrimination of people with intellectual disabilities.

In the Coronavirus emergency,

schools are closed.

 

The shutdown of schools is a major problem for

students with intellectual disabilities,

their families and their teachers.

 

Most students with intellectual disabilities are not able to

continue their learning during the Coronavirus lockdown.

 

Schools and governments must ensure that

discrimination and exclusion of students with intellectual disabilities

do not become normal.

students with intellectual disabilities are not disadvantaged

from other students.

This briefing reminds governments to provide education to

students with disabilities

during the Coronavirus emergency.
