Universities urged to improve accessibility for disabled persons

The management of both public and private universities is urged to enhance their facilities and services for persons with disabilities (PWD) in their institutions as part of initiatives to broaden educational opportunities for this group.

Deputy Higher Education Minister Mustapha Sakmud said all higher education institutions need to be attentive to the needs of PWDs and can take the Return to University (R2U) procedure implemented by Universiti Teknologi Mara (UiTM) as an example of creating an inclusive ecosystem for the group.
