Brief description: Disability support is the main aim of our project. We aim at establishing an Inclusive Education Unit that follows the international standards with the objective of equality in Education, Activities, and Services for students with disabilities. Edu4ALL is an innovative project to empower students with disabilities academically, socially, and psychologically through 4 goals: 1 reach; 2)development; 3)equity & quality;4)sustainability. Edu4ALL aims to reach students with disabilities and to build their capacity by including them in universities programs and increasing the successful participation of them; to build the capacity of staff (lecturers, administrative, and technician) and to ensure they are well trained for teaching and serving students with disabilities; to ensure that the educational experiences that students receive are high quality; and to ensure sustainability. The institution and classroom Will operate on the premise that students with disabilities are as fundamentally competent as students without disabilities. Therefore, all students can be full participants in their classrooms and in the local institution community.
