Australia must do more to educate disabled children

A new report to be launched today by the National Disability Commissioner calls for Australia to lift its game when it comes to educating children with a disability.Despite he right to an inclusive education being enshrined in the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities, it's still common for students to be denied this right in our country.Today's report calls for a review into educational practices and the culture of segregated schools. Interview with Dr Kathy Cologon, the report's author (audio file).
