Rights of People with Intellectual Disabilities: Access to Education and Employment (2005-06) - Reports, press releases, media coverage

Access to education and employment for people with intellectual disabilities

People with intellectual disabilities – whose learning capacity is significantly lower than average – can be an integral part of society. Yet today they remain probably the most excluded group throughout Europe.

In keeping with its focus on vulnerable minority groups in Europe, EUMAP has produced a series of reports monitoring the rights of people with intellectual disabilities in Europe. This monitoring was carried out in cooperation with the Open Society Mental Health Initiative. Introductory info on this project is available on the Intellectual Disability Topics page .

A total of twelve country reports has been published, focusing on the access to education and employment of people with intellectual disabilities. The reports were drafted by local experts with the support of partner NGOs and 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. They are published in both English and the national language; see the respective files below.

Country reports and press releases are also grouped together by country with other relevant info from these pages on respective country pages of their own.

To receive print copies of the reports, please use the Publication order form.

In addition to the complete reports, there are now also summary reports available. Each summary report contains the report's executive summary and the recommendations. Download the collected summary reports, or any summary report individually, on the Summary Reports page, or order the collected summary reports on our Publication order form.
