Inclusive education
Inclusive education is not a marginal issue, but is central to the achievement of quality education for all learners and the development of more inclusive societies.

University education is a critical component of human capital development worldwide. It is also an avenue of self-actualization for most people in the learning process. However, the vast majority of prospective students are denied access to University education especially the disabled individuals due to limited space. Open and Distance education therefore becomes the viable option as it accommodates millions of students who can study from the comfort of wherever they live or work.
