Exploring Educational Attainment among Individuals with Physical Disabilities: A Case Study in Bangladesh

This research aims to explore the educational attainment of people with physical impairments in Bangladesh. The objective is to determine the obstacles, chances, and tactics that help or impede academic achievement in this particular group of people via an extensive case study. The present study utilized qualitative and quantitative methods to collect data on educational achievement, age, gender, income, expenditure, educational expenditure, allowance, and other sources of income. The study investigated the demographic composition, educational level, and influence of variables on the educational attainment of individuals with physical disabilities in various municipal areas of Dhaka, Chattogram, Barishal, and Noakhali. Logistic and probabilistic regression analysis has been used in this context. The results showed that the demographic makeup of people with disabilities in Dhaka, Chattogram, and Noakhali was varied. There was a wide range in educational attainment, and variables including age, gender, income, and educational spending showed a significant impact. The results of probabilistic and logistic regression analysis showed a significant connection between these factors and academic accomplishment. The results will guide focused initiatives and policy changes aimed at improving educational equity and assistance for people with physical disabilities.
