Only 19.7% of people with vision disabilities and 20.3% of people with other disabilities hold a bachelor’s degree or higher, compared to 38.8% of people without disabilities. This gap reminds us why inclusion matters. Exploring data can serve as a starting point for understanding these differences and for working toward a future where everyone can participate fully and equally in education.
