Education Minister Tahir Mamman urges tertiary institutions to up their commitments to inclusive access for PWDs.

, has said that parents would no longer be allowed to choose courses for their children living with disabilities seeking admissions into tertiary institutions in Nigeria.

“This is because the course she showed interest in was not available at the university but the father asked that she study special education. Mr Onyebuchi said when PWDs sought admissions in tertiary institutions, some of the institutions castigated them by saying they were not meant to be in their institutions.

“Also with the increment in tuition fees, that has discouraged our members from going back to school. I want to suggest since the government want our children to be out of the streets , there should be free education for all persons with disabilities in all the tertiary institutions,” he said. “We must work by focusing on accessible learning environment where physical appropriate environment is needed and inclusive curriculum for all students,” the minister said.
