description

Abstract Implementation of a project which aimed was having access to a quality higher education to prospective students with disabilities has been a successful complex situations, obstacles, fears, future projections etc. Among the obstacles that hamper their access to higher education are: high costs, almost prohibitive for universities to provide suitable means for assimilation of the curriculum for these people with disabilities, physical barriers (inability to move at the college in order to pursue these courses or to access course materials in print format standard), material and financial matters such as, lack of qualified staff for educational mentoring people with disabilities, lack of guidelines/ proper supervision with mentors help for a smooth learning and motivation processes. The need to implement the project comes from the identification of target groups. Like all others citizens, people with disabilities are entitled to the same rights under the first article of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, which states that all human beings are free and equal as dignity and rights. To achieve this goal, we should take into account the diversity of each community, and people with a disability to be sure that they can enjoy all human rights: civil, political, social, economic, cultural, all recognized the national and international institutions. This project is important to understand in what way universities are prepared in terms of cultural, scientific and organizational to receive students with disabilities, in what way the content of university courses take into account the internal reality, made up of people with disabilities or not.
