DESCRIPTION:In post-conflict states like Rwanda where very little is known
  about the association between disability and deprivation\, disabled young
  people are particularly vulnerable and frequently forgotten. It is not su
 rprising then that studies on the effects of disability and deprivation on
  the educational and social outcomes of youth are rather sparse.  Fewer st
 ill are studies on the educational experiences of rural disabled youth. Dr
 awing on qualitative methods\, this paper examines the educational experie
 nces of rural disabled youth in Rwanda’s only inclusive secondary school
 . It explores the barriers to their politically promised development\, the
  creative and collaborative coping strategies disabled youth employ in the
 ir educational journeys\, and the challenge barriers pose to their advance
 ment. This study fills a significant gap in the literature by highlighting
  the context-specific factors (e.g. poverty and disability) and forces (e.
 g. family and religion/culture) that enable and/or disable the development
  of disabled young people’s educational experiences.
