The Educational Attainment of People with Disabilities

A Comparison Between Public School and Private Schools

Abstract

Individuals with disabilities exhibit lower educational achievements. This research analyzes the successful educational attainment of individuals with disabilities by comparing government and private educational institutions, gender, and residential location. The research methodology includes descriptive analysis and probit regression to compare independent variables (family size, location, gender) concerning educational achievements. The results indicate disparities in achievements between both educational institutions, with private institutions showing a higher tendency to achieve higher educational levels. The analysis also highlights the importance of considering specific factors such as location and gender in accessing education. This study underscores the necessity for inclusive educational policies that consider social factors to provide equal opportunities for individuals with disabilities within public school environments.
