Developing Inclusive Education for Students with Disabilities in Sri Lankan Universities / IncEdu

IncEdu is dedicated to enhancing the learning space for the students with disabilities (SWDs) in Sri Lankan universities (national universities and private institutions) and providing them with facilities and other requirements in relation to their disabilities. Therefore, this project aims at addressing related issues by raising awareness among stakeholders including academic and non-academic staff of the University and policy makers in higher education, building capacity in the Universities to provide services to facilitate the needs and requirements of those students, and to creating a conducive learning environment for the students with disabilities. The implementation of this project would see as an outcome the establishment of the model resource centre for SWDs. This unit/centre in the UOP, would serve as a model for the partner local universities of Sri Lanka to follow. It is believed that promoting and developing access to inclusive education should be given priority in order to treat those students without discrimination and to protect their rights.

The project was inaugurated on 26th of February 2020. Sri Lanka Technological Campus (SLTC) takes pride in partnering with the University of Peradeniya, Principal coordinator of IncEdu together with two other Sri Lankan Universities namely, Eastern University of Sri Lanka and University of Ruhuna, and four well renowned European Universities; Masaryk  University , Czech Republic, Zagreb University of Croatia, Transilvania University of Brasov, Romania and Uppsala University of Sweden.
