| Abstract: | Since the 1990s, the Government of Mozambique has demonstrated its commitment to disability inclusive education through the adoption of progressive legislation, policies, and strategic plans, as well as through the ratification of key international conventions that uphold the rights of persons with disabilities. Despite these efforts, significant barriers remain. Children with disabilities continue to represent a disproportionate share of out-of-school children, funding gaps persist, and data on children with disabilities remains inconsistent. This paper was developed as part of UNICEF's Learning is For Everyone (LiFE) research implemented in Mozambique and explores challenges and promising practices in Mozambique's pursuit of inclusive education for children with disabilities. Based on the findings, the report outlines evidence-based recommendations across five priority areas: (1) social perceptions and attitudes towards disability; (2) education provisions for children with disabilities; (3) access to education for children with disabilities; (4) quality of education for children with disabilities; and (5) Safety and violence prevention for children with disabilities. The recommendations provide short, medium, and long-term goals to guide implementation and ensure sustainable progress toward disability inclusive education.
