Dear all,
I am sharing a paper entitled
Does teacher’s disability matter? A case from students’ preference
decision between teachers with and without visual impairments teaching
in Nepal’s regular mainstream schools,
published at international journal of education economics and
development (IJEED).

Abstract:
Utilizing the unique dataset of teachers with or without visual
impairments and students in Nepal’s mainstream schools, we estimate
students’ teacher preference decision. Results show significant
difference on visually impaired teachers based upon whether students
have opportunity to interact with disabled friends at schools or in
communities. Additionally, longer the period of students to learn with
blind teachers, greater the likelihood of increasing their preference
decision: it is possible that this finding has causal effect. Our
findings suggest that inclusion and visibility of disability in
communities helps reduce discrimination and increase positive attitude
on disability.
