INDOEDUC4ALL, a new project for Ensuring Access and Quality Education for Students with Disabilities in Indonesian Universities

The University of Alicante is hosting the Kick-off Meeting and the first Study Visit of the INDOEDUC4ALL project during this week. The project, titled Ensuring Access and Quality Education for Students with Disabilities in Indonesian Universities, is funded by the Erasmus+ programme.Under the coordination of UA, it involves Higher Education Institutions and NGOs from Indonesia, but also counts with the participation of two EU universities, from the United Kingdom (Glasgow Caledonian University) and Greece (University of Piraeus Research Centre).

During these days, participants are discussing on key issues for a high quality and effective project implementation to set solid basis towards the achievement of relevant and sustainable results. They are also having an in-depth look at the University of Alicante practices in the field of support to students with special needs.

The INDOEDUC4ALL project will help universities to develop the capacity of its members, leaders, professors, and administrative staff and other stakeholders, in addressing the educational need of students with disabilities. Modern disability support centres will be created and equipped with assistive technologies, as contribution towards the improvement and with views to ensure the accessibility of the teaching-learning processes. With this objective in mind, the project activities will actively involve students with disabilities to ensure the relevance of the future project results. A network will be set up and enlarged beyond the project consortium and will used as main platform to exchange good practices and to foster national coordination and cooperation in the field.
