Pathways through education and into work for disabled refugees need to be secured through policy and in practice.

[DRIVE Project @DRIVEProject2]

[DRIVE Project @DRIVEProject2]

Policy must be informed by intersectoral dialogue to ensure that disabled refugee students, particularly girls, are not inadvertently excluded from education by falling between group-specific policy provisions.
