Problems we are tackling

Before delving into the solutions provided by our app, it's crucial to recognize the significant challenges hindering inclusive education in Indonesia. These obstacles not only limit access to education for children with disabilities but also impede the efforts of teachers striving to create inclusive learning environments. Here are a few descriptions highlighting the pressing issues:

• Children with disabilities in Indonesia continue to face multiple barriers to education. Almost 30 percent of children with disabilities do not have access to education, and 11.6 percent of districts (60 out of 514 districts) do not have special schools able to support nearby inclusive schools. (UNICEF, 2020).
• A lack of user-friendly guidelines inhibits teachers from being able to implement inclusive edu. Instruments developed by Indonesia Ministry of Education is often limited due to their length and complexity by teachers who would prefer access to simpler instruments(Mujahid, Yamtinah, and Akhyar, 2019).

Addressing these issues head-on, our app endeavors to provide practical solutions and support systems that empower educators and promote inclusive education for all children in Indonesia.

Seizing Inclusive Education Opportunities in Indonesia

• From 2015 to 2023, Indonesia witnessed a remarkable increase in inclusive schools, soaring from 3,610 to an impressive 44,477, driven by Ministry of Education Policy No. 70/2009. However, only a fraction of these schools, less than 12.6 percent, have adequately trained teachers in inclusive education, according to Hata, Yowono, Purwana, & Nomura (2021).

In light of this growth, our focus is clear: to equip educators with the necessary skills and resources to meet the needs of all learners. Through our app, we aim to narrow the gap by providing accessible training and support for teachers, ensuring that the rise in inclusive schools translates into meaningful opportunities for every child in Indonesia.
