In Bangladesh, many disabled children are not attending school. Despite the country's special policies, laws, and services, most disabled children face a barrier to enrollment in school. To increase the school attendance of children, particularly disabled children, research on barriers to school attendance is essential. It will help to ensure that all children, including those with disabilities, receive an education. This paper will investigate the factors associated with children with disabilities missing school. This study will utilize data from a large sample based on Nationally representative multiple indicator cluster survey 2019 in Bangladesh. The study group included 5024 disabled children ranging in age from 6 to 17 years. To determine the significant covariates for the multivariate analysis, a bivariate analysis was performed. The findings indicate that age of the child, gender, household head sex, education of the household head, area (urban/rural), husband age, whether the husband has more wives, and disability types are all associated with disabled children being absent from school. Using these findings, the government of Bangladesh and other stakeholders should advocate for policies and programs that reduce barriers to education and ensure that all disabled children attend school.
在孟加拉国，许多残疾儿童没有上学。尽管该国制定了特殊政策、法律和服务，但大多数残疾儿童在入学方面仍然面临障碍。为了提高儿童，特别是残疾儿童的入学率，对入学障碍进行研究至关重要。这将有助于确保所有儿童，包括残疾儿童，都能接受教育。本文将调查与残疾儿童缺课相关的因素。本研究将利用基于孟加拉国 2019 年全国代表性多指标类集调查的大样本数据。研究组包括年龄在 6 至 17 岁之间的 5024 名残疾儿童。为了确定多元分析的重要协变量，进行了双变量分析。研究结果表明，儿童年龄、性别、家庭户主性别、家庭户主教育程度、地区（城市/农村）、丈夫年龄、丈夫是否有更多妻子以及残疾类型都与残疾儿童缺课有关。政府和其他利益攸关方应利用这些发现，倡导减少教育障碍的政策和方案，确保所有残疾儿童都能上学。
