This paper analyzes the World Bank's educational agenda for people with disabilities, relating it to the general educational reform guidelines and the political program of the institution. Initially, relevant aspects of World Bank's history and its institutional configuration, its political program and the educational agenda of the entity are discussed. Then, World Bank's agenda for the education of people with disabilities is analyzed, based on the World Report on Disability, in an attempt to assess the extent to which this specific agenda converges with the World Bank's more general political program. The text also questions the recommendations of the World Report on Disability in the light of the Brazilian experience with regard to the institutionalization of social and educational rights of people with disabilities
