Description
Prashant Acharya, Hassan Haghparast Bidgoli, and Julia Robinson analysed in 2026 schooling outcomes for children with disabilities in Nepal. Data came from a nationally representative 2019 household survey covering more than seven thousand children aged five to seventeen. About one child in seven reported a functional disability in the sample. Models adjusted for age, sex, location, mother's education, and household wealth.
Children with disabilities were less likely ever to have attended school than peers without disabilities. They had also completed fewer grades on average by the survey date. Being in the right grade for one's age showed no clear link to disability in the adjusted results. Difficulties adjusting to routine changes were far more common among children with disabilities in daily life. The authors call for inclusive learning environments and support systems to close these gaps.
