Pacific Indicators for Disability-Inclusive Education (Pacific-INDIE)

摘要: Working collaboratively with the Pacific Islands Forum Secretariat (PIFS), the Pacific Disability Forum (PDF), Monash University and the CBM-Nossal Institute Partnership for Disability-Inclusive Development, The University of Melbourne, this research involved 14 Pacific Island countries providing information about the progress already made towards measuring inclusive education in the region. Subsequently, four countries (Fiji, Samoa, Solomon Islands, Vanuatu) were involved in developing and trialing a set of indicators for measuring progress towards disability-inclusive education across the region.The research project spanned three years involving a three-phase approach and culminated with the development and launch of the Pacific Indicators for Disability-Inclusive Education (Pacific-INDIE). In each phase a number of small research studies were conducted to inform the development of the indicators. Outcomes from these studies are reported in international and local journals and publications and have been presented at several conferences and workshops (details of these are available separately on the website). Brief findings are included in this report.
