Disability inclusion and vulnerable learner statistics compiled from the MINEDUC School Census, published in the Rwanda Statistical Yearbook 2025. Covers Tables 4.72(b)-4.83 of the EDUCATION sheet: disability-adapted infrastructure by level with/without counts (Table 4.72.), accessible toilets by level and school status with/without counts (Table 4.73), staff trained in SNE and inclusive education by type and sex (Table 4.74), learners with disabilities by level and sex (Table 4.75), learners with disabilities by type and sex (Table 4.76), learners with disabilities by type and education level cross-tabulation (Tables 4.77-4.79), refugee learners by level and sex (Table 4.80), orphan learners by level and sex (Table 4.81), orphan learners by type and sex (Table 4.82), and learners in correctional centers by level and sex (Table 4.83).
| COLUMN | TYPE | DESCRIPTION | UNIT |
|---|---|---|---|
| academic_year | string | Academic year label (e.g. "2017", "2020/21", "2023/24"). Most tables cover 2017-2023/24; refugees start at 2018, correctional centers start at 2019, accessible_toilets and disability-type tables are single-year (2023/24 only). | - |
| year | int64 | Start year of the academic/calendar year (e.g. 2023 for "2023/24"). Use for numeric sorting and chart x-axis positioning. | - |
| topic | string | Dataset sub-table slug. Values: adapted_infrastructure (Table 4.72. -- schools with disability-adapted infrastructure), accessible_toilets (Table 4.73 -- schools with accessible toilets), sne_trained_staff (Table 4.74 -- staff trained in SNE and inclusive education), learners_with_disability (Table 4.75 -- learners with disabilities by level), disability_by_type (Table 4.76 -- disability learners by type, single year), disability_by_type_and_level (Tables 4.77-4.79 -- disability learners by type and level), refugees (Table 4.80), orphans_by_level (Table 4.81), orphans_by_type (Table 4.82), correctional_centers (Table 4.83). | - |
| category | string | Dimension value within the topic. For adapted_infrastructure: overall, preprimary, primary, secondary, tvet. For accessible_toilets: {level}_{school_status} combinations (e.g. overall_public, primary_govt_subsidized). For sne_trained_staff: total_staff, teaching_staff, administrative_staff. For learners_with_disability: total, preprimary, primary, secondary, tvet, higher_ed, adult_literacy. For disability_by_type: total plus 11 disability type slugs (visual_impairment, hearing_impairment, physical_motor_challenges, intellectual_disabilities, autism_spectrum_disorder, deaf_blind, speech_language_communication, emotional_behavioral_disorder, specific_learning_difficulties, multiple_disabilities, developmental_challenges). For disability_by_type_and_level: {level}_{disability_type_slug} compound slugs (e.g. preprimary_visual_impairment, higher_ed_total). For refugees and orphans_by_level: total, preprimary, primary, secondary, tvet. For orphans_by_type: total, mother_deceased, father_deceased, both_deceased. For correctional_centers: total, pre_nursery, preprimary, primary, secondary, tvet, adult_literacy. | - |
| sex | string | Sex breakdown. Values: total, male, female. Null (pd.NA) for adapted_infrastructure and accessible_toilets topics (no sex dimension in those source tables). | - |
| count | float64 | Headcount for learner and staff topics; school count for infrastructure topics. Nullable where source shows "-" or where sub-level data is not available (e.g. pre_nursery in correctional_centers before 2022/23). | - |
| count_without | float64 | Schools WITHOUT the feature. Non-null only for adapted_infrastructure and accessible_toilets topics. Null for all other topics. Together with count, allows computing the share_pct as count / (count + count_without) * 100. | - |
| share_pct | float64 | Percentage share (0-100 scale). For adapted_infrastructure and accessible_toilets: percentage of schools WITH the feature. For sne_trained_staff, orphans_by_type, correctional_centers: sex share percentage for total-level category rows (e.g. % male of total_staff). Null for rows where source does not publish a share. | - |
