【 摘 要 】

According to the World Health Organization and the World Bank “approximately 93 million children in the world – 1 in 20 children aged 14 or younger – have a moderate or severe disability of some kind. The majority of them live in the undeveloped world, are not enrolled in school, and have very poor access to the most basic health and nutrition opportunities. In low- and middle-income countries, children with disabilities are more likely to be out of school than any other group of children” (1). Girls with disabilities are particularly disadvantaged and most likely to be excluded from education (2).
