Inequity is an important issue for many international initiatives, including the current Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). One aspect of inequity that has received little attention is the impact of disability on education. This working paper explores whether mild or moderate levels of visual impairment are associated with educational performance for 7 and 8-year-old children in Peru. Descriptive statistics from the Young Lives sample suggested that children with poorer visual acuity have better performance in mathematics, reading and vocabulary tests.
