Give Every Disabled Child The Right To An Education

This petition was published by Glen Poole on Jun 02, 2010

We the undersigned call on the new UK Government to commit to giving every disabled child in the world an education in support of the UN’s Millennium Development Goals for 2010

According to the charity AbleChildAfrica (www.ablechildafrica.org.uk) around 90% of Africa’s 50 million disabled children are being denied their right to an education

Our new Prime Minister, David Cameron, says that “education is the key to unlocking the potential of every child and the prosperity of every nation”

The Deputy Prime Minister, Nick Clegg, believes that “every child in the world should be able to go to school”

And the UN has committed to give every child a right to a primary education by 2015 (www.endpoverty2015.org) – and the biggest obstacle it faces is the question of how we can include every disabled child in that goal

Is the world really Ready, Willing & Able to give every disabled child a right to an education by 2015?

We don’t think so

That’s why we are calling on David Cameron and Nick Clegg to give the UK’s backing to the the UN’s Millennium Development Goal to ensure that all boys and girls – including every disabled child – completes a full course of primary schooling by 2015
