POLAND - Rights of People with Intellectual Disabilities: Access to Education and Employment
"Rights of people with intellectual disabilities: access to education and employment in Poland", a new report produced by the Open Society Institute, reveals that for people with intellectual disabilities in Poland, access to inclusive education and to any kind of employment remains highly limited. The monitoring report was produced by the Open Society Institute (EUMAP and Mental Health Initiative) in cooperation with the Polish Association for Persons with Mental Handicap, and was presented at a launch in Warsaw on 8 November 2005. Discussions at the launch were moderated by prof. dr hab. Anna Firkowska-Mankiewicz, Krystyna Mrugalska, and the reporter, Ewa Wapiennik. The report is part of a series of fourteen country reports on the rights of people with intellectual disabilities in Europe. The reports monitor the degree to which existing international standards and national legislation are heeded and applied. Each report contains a list of concrete recommendations for improving policies, and ensuring the implementation of these policies in practice. To receive a copy of the report, please use the Publication order form.
