| dc.description.abstract | International and regional human rights instruments, particularly the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC), the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD) and the African Charter on the Rights and Welfare of the Child (ACRWC) recognize the right to education of Children with Disabilities (CWDs). However, CWDs are one of the groups that are highly excluded from education, particularly in Ethiopia. Provision of Education for CWDs in Ethiopia is inadequate. Significant proportions of in-school are attending school in a segregated environment. This paper explores the situation of RSSs in provision of literacy to CWVs, whether the services provided were [human] right based and the challenges of RSSs in provision of literacy and residential services. For this study a qualitative study approach was adopted. Hence, data collection, sampling and analysis carried out in line with the above mentioned set of proceedings. Focus group discussion, interview and document analysis were used to collect data. 24 blind students and 4 teachers were made to participate in the research. To pinpoint some findings, though, there exists conducive legal and policy environments or frameworks to educate CWVs, research participant CWVs indicated that they were excluded from and with in education ahead of coming to SSB. They were denied to enroll or forced to withdraw due to inconveniencies of; poor quality or non-availability of learning aids and the unwelcoming school social and infrastructural milieus. | en_US |
