The Ministry of Education is committed to addressing educational inequality to create opportunities and equality in education for all learners. This initiative aims to elevate education towards excellence and ensure a stable life, under the "Hold Hands and Go Together" approach, in line with the "Learn Well, Be Happy" policy. The ministry believes that every learner will find happiness if they receive equal educational opportunities. This activity, which develops potential and life skills for students with disabilities, opens opportunities for disabled people to study at VEC institutions according to the increasing demand. It also promotes the development of vocational skills (Up Skill, Re Skill) through 86 courses, with over 2,000 people with disabilities having already completed training.
Continuing to create educational and vocational opportunities for people with disabilities, the goal is to improve everyone's quality of life and enable full participation in the development of society.
