At the 2025 Global Disability Summit being held on 2-3 April in Berlin, Germany, Education Cannot Wait and global strategic partners announce key pledges to accelerate disability inclusion in education in emergencies and protracted crises, committing to a twin-track approach and stronger data collection to ensure children with disabilities are not left behind in crises.
Amid unprecedented global crises, millions of children are being denied their right to quality education. Today, an estimated 234 million children and adolescents are affected by conflict and emergencies, with 85 million of them out of school. Children with disabilities face even greater barriers to accessing education, making up 20% of all out-of-school children in crisis contexts. These children are often doubly disadvantaged, facing not only stigma and discrimination that exclude them from school, but also a lack of accessible facilities and specialized support when they do manage to attend.
The 2025 Global Disability Summit, hosted by the governments of Germany and Jordan, and by the International Disability Alliance, presents a vital opportunity for world leaders to ensure disability-inclusive education is prioritized across humanitarian and development aid initiatives. Education Cannot Wait (ECW), in collaboration with the German Federal Ministry of Economic Cooperation and Development, the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office, the International Disability Alliance and the Global Education Cluster, announced two key pledges aimed at transforming the educational experiences of children with disabilities in emergencies and protracted crises.
By committing to integrating disability inclusion into all aspects of education in emergencies and protracted crises while at the same time supporting targeted interventions as well as strengthening data collection on disability inclusion, ECW and partners are working towards a future where every child, regardless of their abilities, has access to quality education in safe, inclusive environments.
