UNNES\u2019s inclusion strategy is guided by an Inclusive Education Policy that integrates accessibility and equality principles into teaching, learning, and campus life. The policy ensures that students with disabilities receive appropriate accommodations, including assistive technology, accessible facilities, and individualized academic support.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These principles are reinforced in UNNES\u2019s broader SDG commitment to inclusive and equitable education for all, emphasizing that no student should face barriers to learning due to disability or socio-economic background.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To implement this policy effectively, UNNES has established and strengthened its Disability Service Units under the Language, Education, Training, Career, Counseling, and Disability Service Center (PLBPP). These units coordinate and deliver disability-related services, including counseling, mentoring, and accessibility support.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 2024, UNNES received 28 million rupiahs in third-party funding from the Directorate General of Higher Education, Ministry of Education, Culture, Research, and Technology, under Legal Contract Number 22\/E2\/PPK\/SPK\/ULD\/2024<\/mark><\/strong><\/a>. This grant supported the enhancement of inclusive infrastructure and service delivery for students with disabilities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These funds are allocated to strengthen the university\u2019s disability units by improving assistive facilities, training personnel, and expanding accessibility initiatives across campus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

UNNES\u2019s inclusive approach extends beyond physical infrastructure to financial and academic empowerment. The university provides scholarships for students with disabilities, ensuring that financial barriers do not hinder access to higher education.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Data on recipients of these scholarships demonstrate UNNES\u2019s commitment to equitable educational access and continuous monitoring of inclusion outcomes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Through these scholarships and mentorship programs, UNNES continues to foster an inclusive learning environment where all students, regardless of their abilities, can excel academically and socially.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Institutional Commitment to an Inclusive Future<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cUNNES views inclusion not as a special program but as a fundamental value that defines who we are as a university,\u201d said the Rector of UNNES. \u201cThese policies and funding initiatives ensure that accessibility is embedded in every layer of our academic and operational systems.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a Conservation University with a Global Reputation, UNNES remains committed to promoting diversity, accessibility, and empowerment through policies, infrastructure, and partnerships that support a more equitable higher education landscape.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
