answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 22/07/2020 answer text <p>Before the pandemic, children with disabilities were already among the most marginalised. Emerging evidence suggests the impact of COVID-19 on their education will be significant in ODA eligible countries. Many children with disabilities are excluded from remote learning and as they lack assisted learning devices at home, accessible content and one-to-one support.</p><p>That is why the UK’s Ed Tech Hub is working to ensure distance education is inclusive for all learners, including those with disabilities. Through our flagship Girls’ Education Challenge Fund and the Inclusive Education Initiative, we are supporting children with disabilities to access quality education and building the evidence base on how to do this most effectively. And we will lend our full weight to global efforts, including the UNICEF-led campaign to ensure <em>all </em>children can return to school when it is safe to do so, and children with disabilities are not left behind.</p> answering member constituency Aldridge-Brownhills answering member printed Wendy Morton question first answered 22/07/2020 16:03:15 answering member 4358 label Biography information for Wendy Morton
