Data from the ECHP in 1996 shows that people with disabilities have less chance to reach the highest level of education and more chance to stop studying prematurely (9% of severely disabled people reached third level of education, compared to 18% of non-disabled people.It is a particularly welcome development that an increasing number of Member States are recognising the importance of integrating children with disabilities into the mainstream education system:
Les données du PCM de 1996 montrent que les personnes handicapées ont moins de chances d'atteindre les plus hauts niveaux d'éducation et sont davantage susceptibles d'interrompre leurs études prématurément (9 % des personnes fortement handicapées atteignent le troisième cycle d'enseignement supérieur, contre 18 % pour les personnes non handicapées).
