The Gambia Education Sector Support Program (ESSP) (P162890) Since good data on students with disabilities in the Gambia are not available, support to these students is limited. The Gambia has a twin-track approach to providing access for students with disabilities and/or special educational needs. Students with more severe disabilities go to one of three special schools in Banjul. As a matter of policy, students with moderate disabilities are accommodated in mainstream schools wherever possible, but specialized equipment (e.g., hearing aids, glasses, Braille reading materials, lamps, wheelchairs) or adequate learning support is rarely available, and the provision of teacher training to support inclusion and learning of students with disabilities is not widely available either. As part of the ESSP, the government has committed itself to inclusive education and aims to enhance support to students. Disability-disaggregated data collection and the development of inclusive Education Management Information System (EMIS) are part of the activities.
