6.2.3. Education level and poverty of<br />

PWDs<br />

Examining education level, over one quarter of<br />

PWDs (25.8 percent) have completed primary<br />

school, 17.1 percent have not completed primary<br />

school, and 11.2 percent are without any schooling.<br />

About one third of PWDs has completed secondary<br />

school (14.3 percent three-year and 18.3 percent<br />

four-year vocational schools), 3.2 percent have<br />

completed gymnasium, 4.9 percent have completed<br />

post-secondary non-university education and 3.6<br />

percent have university degrees of various level.<br />

Men with disabilities are generally more<br />

highly educated than disabled women. Examining<br />

age, the educational structure of PWDs in the<br />

younger age groups (15-44) is less favourable in<br />

comparison to those aged 45+. This again could<br />

confirm the previous conclusion that the proportion<br />

of PWDs with work-related disabilities is high, i.e.<br />

PWDs acquired their disability after completing<br />

their education5<br />
