2021 DB Symposium - Project Pixan. A 10 Year Strategy

Gloria Rodriguez-Gil, Director for Latin American and the Caribbean for Perkins International. Over the next 10 years, Perkins, in partnership with state Secretaries of Education, educators, and parents will increase access to quality education for children with multiple disabilities in Mexico. We expect to reach even more, because, as education quality improves and children thrive, enrollment and retention increase- so that children who today are out of school, by 2030 will be learning. Our strategy to achieve this transformation has four parts: 1. Build adult capacity to support children’s learning. 2. Establish a state-of-the-art adaptive design center in Yucatán State to serve children with low-cost, custom-designed learning equipment. 3. Partner nationally to reach more children locally. 4. Fill the data gap on effective education for children with disabilities.
