Children with Down syndrome face systemic inequality in secondary education. Many are denied access to appropriate support, leading to isolation, reduced opportunities, and poor outcomes. Families are left to fight for inclusion in a system that often lacks understanding, training, and the will to adapt.

Our Secondary Education Programme empowers schools, families and professionals with tailored resources, training, and practical guidance. We champion inclusion, equip educators, and support families to ensure children with Down syndrome thrive in secondary education and beyond.
