Artificial Intelligence (AI) has become a powerful tool for promoting inclusive and accessible education, especially for girls under the age of 16 who live with disabilities. Across the world, children with disabilities remain one of the most marginalised groups in education systems, and girls often experience additional barriers due to gender discrimination, social inequality, and limited access to resources. According to UNICEF (2021), many girls with disabilities are denied equal learning opportunities because of social stigma, poverty, and inadequate educational support. AI-based technologies are helping to reduce these challenges by creating more personalised and accessible learning environments. Tools such as speech recognition software, text-to-speech systems, intelligent tutoring platforms, and AI-driven assistive devices support students with visual, hearing, speech, or learning disabilities. UNESCO (2023) highlights that these technologies improve communication, participation, and independent learning, enabling students to engage more effectively in educational activities. AI can also adapt learning materials according to individual needs, making education more flexible and inclusive. Despite these advantages, several challenges continue to limit the widespread impact of AI in education. The World Bank (2021) reports that many developing regions still face problems related to poor digital infrastructure, lack of internet connectivity, high technology costs, and insufficient teacher training. These issues create a digital divide that prevents many girls with disabilities from benefiting fully from AI-based educational tools. Therefore, governments and educational institutions must invest in affordable technology, digital infrastructure, and inclusive policies to ensure that AI contributes effectively to equal educational opportunities for all children.
