Only 1 in 10 children with disabilities is in school (UNICEF).<\/p>\n<p><strong>In Ambanja there is no official data on disability<\/strong> (case history, type, age, gender, etc.) nor specialized services for diagnosis and support. Until 2019, there was a single differential class of 15 children with disabilities aged 5-11. Today, each school in the city can choose whether or not to accept children with disabilities as long as they are mild; <strong>children with severe disabilities are excluded from the right to education and are entirely entrusted to their families<\/strong>.
