2 new tools: The Child Functioning Module – Teacher Version & the Inclusive Education Module

Good-quality data are key to eliminating discrimination based on disability and to accelerating global progress towards inclusive policies and programmes, including in education.

In recent years, substantial advancements have been made in the availability and quality of statistical information on children with disabilities. Since its release in 2016, the Child Functioning Module, developed by UNICEF and the Washington Group on Disability Statistics, has been used in over 60 countries, providing crucial data on the well-being and educational access of children with disabilities.

Building on this progress, two new data collection instruments have been introduced: the Child Functioning Module – Teacher Version and the Inclusive Education Module. These tools are designed to gather high-quality data to further support the inclusion of children with disabilities in education.

At the webinar, opening remarks were given by Julie Weeks (Chief of Measures, Research and Evaluation, National Centre for Health Statistics and the Washington Group on Disability Statistics) and a presentation on the Child Functioning Module – Teacher Version and the Inclusive Education Module was provided by Claudia Cappa (UNICEF).
