Across the world today, nearly 240 million children live with some form of disability. UNESCO and UNICEF remind us that many of these children either never enter a classroom or quietly slip away before completing school. In fact, children with disabilities are 2.5 times more likely to miss out on education, and even when they do get enrolled, almost half of them do not receive the support they truly need.
These numbers are not just statistics—they are stories of children who deserve to be seen, heard, and supported.
Yet, in many schools, children with special needs have limited space to learn and thrive. Some are not admitted at all, and in others, one special educator is expected to support the needs of an entire school.
At Queen Mira International School, we believe that every child is unique, and every child deserves to feel safe, understood, and supported.
To make this belief real, we have built a strong Learning Support Team with five dedicated members—Counselors and Special Educators—backed by thoughtful infrastructure and well-equipped resource rooms.

But the journey doesn’t happen alone—parents, teachers, and the support team move together, celebrating every milestone, every improvement, every moment of confidence gained.
Today, about 10% of our students receive specialised support, and each of them is progressing with greater assurance, joy, and independence.
