Best Practices in Generating Data on Learners with Disabilities

This brief summarizes best practices in collecting data on learners with disabilities that USAID’s Data and Evidence for Education Programs (DEEP) project gleaned through a tool mapping study and expert and implementing partner consultations. The selection of appropriate data collection tools and the use of appropriate protocols in their application affect the quality and relevance of any resulting data. Given the sensitive nature of individuals’ disability status data, additional considerations must be born in mind when collecting and using them.
