The inequality of educational opportunities and access to labor experienced by Persons with Disabilities (PwD) shows that the amendment of Law no. 4 of 1997 into Law no. 8 of 2016 has not succeeded in providing an inclusive space for PwD. A human rights-based, independent, and non-charity-based approach makes the Law on PwD a guide for fulfilling disability rights in Indonesia. This paper use qualitative-quantitative and juridical-normative methods to evaluate the implementation of the Law on Persons with Disabilities in various aspects, including education and the labour market during the COVID 19, which globally known as a public health emergency. In the end, this paper acknowledges two significant findings; first, the absence of policies at the regional level made the inclusiveness challenging to implement as a public service minimum standard. Second, the need for a special policy for PwD during the COVID-19 pandemic is essential to adapt the protection of public health for the most vulnerable such as PwD.
