Leaving no one behind in education : a focus on children with disabilities
A Kapuscinski Development Lecture held by Dr. Toyin Aderemi, UNRWA.
Dr. Toyin Aderemi has an expertise in disability inclusion and a PhD in Behavioural Medicine. Toyin was left unable to walk due to contracting polio in her childhood. Her mother used to carry her on her back to and from school until she got her first wheelchair at age 16. She is the first person in a wheelchair to study and practice pharmacy in Nigeria. She currently works at the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA) as a Disability Advisor seconded by Handicap International.
This lecture will shed the light on the educational situation of children with disabilities in low and middle income countries and make linkages with the progress needed to achieve Sustainable Development Goal 4.
Dr. Aderemi’s lecture will be followed by a panel discussion and Q&A with the public.
