Inclusive University
Inclusive higher education is a crucial component of fostering diversity, equity, and accessibility within academic institutions. However, it comes with its own set of challenges and objectives.
One significant challenge is overcoming barriers to access for marginalised groups, including individuals with disabilities, those from low-income backgrounds, racial and ethnic minorities, LGBTQ+ individuals, and others. These barriers can range from financial constraints and lack of support services to discriminatory practices and institutional biases.
Another challenge lies in creating an environment that embraces diversity and fosters inclusion. This requires not only policies and programs aimed at increasing representation but also efforts and concrete actions to promote a culture of acceptance and belonging for all students, regardless of their backgrounds.
