Join the DARE-Research Consortium for a thought-provoking discussion on Pakistan’s journey toward building disability-inclusive education data systems, drawing on new evidence from the DARE-RC Study on Disability-Inclusive Data and Systems in Pakistan.

The fourth episode of the DARE-RC Building Communities of Practice webinar series brings together the authors of the study and education sector stakeholders to explore:

  • How disability-disaggregated data was integrated for the first time into the Annual School Census (ASC) using the Washington Group Short Set (WG-SS) questions
  • What this means for planning, budgeting, and implementing inclusive education policies
  • The opportunities and challenges in strengthening data quality, teacher capacity, and policy use
  • Practical steps to ensure that every child—regardless of ability—is counted and supported in Pakistan’s education system

Whether you are a policymaker, researcher, or practitioner, this conversation will provide valuable insights into how data can drive equity and inclusion in education systems.
