Factors Related to the Low Enrolment of Children with Disabilities in Primary Education in Burkina Faso

The low enrolment of children with disabilities (CWDs) is one of the issues that inders the implementation of inclusive education in Burkina Faso. We conducted a questionnaire focusing on institutional aspect and received responses from 58 stakeholders in the field of education. From the questionnaire, we found that even though a National Strategy is implemented, its focus is for girl’s education and not dedicated for CWDs. We also found that there is an absence of system to collect data to implement effective inclusive education. Another issue is lack of public schools and trained teachers to implement inclusive education at primary level. We, therefore, must overcome these hindrances to conduct effective implementation of inclusive education at primary level.
