    Recommendations for Inclusive Vocational and Higher Education for Persons with Disabilities

    The context: Persons with disabilities have the right to receive education of the same quality as any other persons, in an environment that takes into account their individual needs. In order to achieve this, policies of educational establishments must address comprehensive access, to all other education opportunities in a lifelong learning perspective. The environment, teaching and learning and organization of the educational establishment and education system should be changed in order to remove barriers to students with disabilities, so that they can maximise their academic and social achievements. An inclusive approach is beneficial to all students, whether they are disabled or not, or whether they have learning difficulties or not. Lack of progress to inclusion is also due to the fact that there is often a lack of technical and human resources in mainstream education. The poverty rate for disabled working-age adults is twice that of their non-disabled counterparts. Often it is not due to their disability, but the fact that disabled people have fewer qualifications. The objective: To encourage vocational and higher education establishments to became „disability friendly“ educational institutions and promote active participation of persons with disabilities in educational processes in order to stimulate their professional, social, personal and career development. The results: To develop general Recommendations for inclusive vocational and higher education for persons with disabilities. Developed recommendations will be the tool for educational institutions for becoming more inclusive and for disabled persons organizations and disabled persons for their campaign for inclusive education.
