3. According to UNICEF, an estimated 93 million children worldwide live with disabilities. Like
all children, children with disabilities have ambitions and dreams for their futures. Like all
children, they need quality education to develop their skills and realize their full potential.

Yet, children with disabilities are often overlooked in policymaking, limiting their access to
education and their ability to participate in social, economic and political life. Worldwide,
these children are among the most likely to be out of school. They face persistent barriers
to education stemming from discrimination, stigma and the routine failure of decision
makers to incorporate disability in school services.

Based from your own experiences and knowledge answer the following questions:

a) What are the efforts being done by DepEd and CHED in order to address the gap
on inclusive education? (Be able to support with factual evidences from reputable
sources.) (53-60)
b) How are you directly or indirectly involved in the pursuit of the country to be truly
inclusive? (61-68)
c) Formulate one policy that could help mitigate the common barriers to inclusive
education and discuss its implications to society. (69-76)
