A Review of Legal Instruments on Equal Right to Education of Children with Disabilities in Nigeria

Abstract

Achieving the Education For All targets and Millennium Development Goals will be impossible
without improving access to and quality of education for children with disabilities. The EFA Global
Monitoring Report 2007 estimates that the majority of children with disabilities in Africa do not go to
school at all, and of the 72 million primary aged children worldwide that are out of school, one third
have disabilities.
