#DoYourHomework
Children with disabilities have the right to a quality education. Share our urgent call for action at the upcoming Transforming Education Summit.
Sightsavers and partners are setting homework for global leaders.
Even before the pandemic, as many as 33 million children with disabilities in low and middle income countries were out of school. We’re setting homework for global leaders to ensure the 240 million children living with disabilities are included in education plans made at the Transforming Education Summit on 19 September 2022. Help us spread the word.
