Abstract

The article presents the social and educational situ- ation of Burundian children with psychological and physical disabilities. The aim of the presented research is to answer the question of what features dominate in the perception of intelligent people by Burundian children and to look at how the social and educational status of children with disabili- ties is positioned in this context. The results of the research carried out among Burundian youth from the Integrated Primary School in Bujumbura and among social activists working in the environment of children with disabilities and at risk of social exclusion were subject to qualitative analysis. The analysis of the research showed that there are four main characteristics that the pupils describe as intelligent: serious, hard-working, brave and polite.
