Case study 4.4.2

Read the case below and answer the questions that follow. Post your answer on the platform.

The Y community practices nomadic pastoralism and makes up about 5- 10% of the population in the country. In this community poverty ranks four times higher than the national average, and many times the wealthiest of these people are uneducated. Their children, if allowed in school, are often placed in special classrooms, assumed to be less able to learn. Their disability is simply being born in the Y community. These children have continuously been misdiagnosed with having a mental disability. Because of this, they've been restricted to small amounts of education. 50% of these children have failed to complete their primary education.
