Accessibility of educational facilities for children with disabilities

Education is regarded as the foundation for social, economic, political and human development. It is a systematic process that influences people¿s knowledge, skills and attitudes and develops the cherished cultures and values of the community. There is therefore the need for children with disabilities to have access to education for them to be productive to the country, community and their families. However, no studies have been undertaken to look at the extent of accessibility of educational facilities for children with disabilities in Ghana. There is therefore the need to document all educational facilities established purposely for children with disabilities at the basic level and assess how accessible these facilities are to children with disabilities.
