Urban School Attendance Rates for Persons with Functional Difficulties

This dataset from the World Bank and Disability Data Hub focuses on the percentage of persons living in urban areas who have ever attended school, specifically among those with any degree of functional difficulty. The data likely contains country-level indicators for measuring educational access within the disabled urban population. Columns may suggest metrics for disability inclusion and urban education equity.
