*Conadis encourages compliance with inclusive higher education from the admission process, reservation of vacancies and training content linked to accessibility and disability.Thousands of young people with disabilities are about to take the admission exams at universities nationwide and the National Council for the Integration of Persons with Disabilities - Conadis, urges all public and private educational institutions to guarantee an inclusive and accessible academic experience, in accordance with the provisions established in Law No. 29973, General Law of Persons with Disabilities, and its Regulations.
Along these lines, the standard establishes the application of reasonable adjustments from the first contact, such as the admission process until the student with a disability remains at the university. In addition, the reservation of 5% of vacancies by professional specialty for applicants with disabilities who pass the entrance evaluation should be considered, in order to promote equal opportunities for access to higher education.
