School Enrollment: People with Disabilities (PI5954)

This metric is intended to capture the number of students with disabilities enrolled at the school as of the end of the reporting period, including both full- and part-time students. Each discrete student should be counted once, regardless of number of courses taken.

These data may be most effectively collected through either school reporting (for private schools) or government reporting (for public schools).

This metric is multi-dimensional with regard to the five dimensions of impact. It may help describe the WHO dimension when the stakeholder group represented by the metric is the stakeholder group targeted by the investment or organization. It may also help measure the HOW MUCH Scale dimension, which helps estimate the number of the targeted stakeholders experiencing the outcome. For more on the alignment of IRIS metrics to the five dimensions of impact, see IRIS+ and the Five Dimensions of Impact (https://iris.thegiin.org/document/iris-and-the-five-dimensions/). No single metric is sufficient to understand an impact; rather, metrics are selected as a set across all dimensions of impact. When possible, the selection of metrics to measure and describe the five dimensions should be based on best practice and evidence.
