DESCRIPTION:In post-conflict states like Rwanda where very lit
 tle is known about the association between disabil
 ity and deprivation\, disabled young people are pa
 rticularly vulnerable and frequently forgotten. It
  is not surprising then that studies on the effect
 s of disability and deprivation on the educational
  and social outcomes of youth are rather sparse.  
 Fewer still are studies on the educational experie
 nces of rural disabled youth. Drawing on qualitati
 ve methods\, this paper examines the educational e
 xperiences of rural disabled youth in Rwanda’s onl
 y inclusive secondary school. It explores the barr
 iers to their politically promised development\, t
 he creative and collaborative coping strategies di
 sabled youth employ in their educational journeys\
 , and the challenge barriers pose to their advance
 ment. This study fills a significant gap in the li
 terature by highlighting the context-specific fact
 ors (e.g. poverty and disability) and forces (e.g.
  family and religion/culture) that enable and/or d
 isable the development of disabled young people’s 
 educational experiences.
