Yearning to Learn: Behavioral barriers and enablers to inclusive education in Jordan
In order to continue advancing inclusive education, World Vision and Mercy Corps with the support of the No Lost Generation (NLG) initiative, conducted a behavioral barrier analysis among more than 250 Jordanian and Syrian parents of children with disabilities in the host community and camp settings. Focus group discussions were also held with more than a dozen teachers and disability experts to better understand the challenges faced with inclusion in classrooms, as well as remote learning during the COVID-19 pandemic. Major differences outlined across six thematic areas were discovered in behavioral determinants between parents whose children with disabilities attended school on a regular basis and those whose children did not attend regularly.
