There is a five-point gap in the number of disabled people who are getting grades A to C at higher. Disabled people’s economic inactivity rate is three times higher than the inactivity rate of non-disabled people.
I am not saying that we could not get to that place at some point. My point is that we are not there now, it is going to be a long time before we get there, and many disabled people are going to suffer in that interim period.
