35 Reports of Student Disability Rejections
The Higher Council for the Rights of Persons with Disabilities revealed that it has received over 85 requests and inquiries regarding the admission of students with disabilities into educational institutions at the start of the school year, including 35 complaints related to rejection of admission. It clarified that Law No. 20 of 2017 prohibits excluding any student due to disability, and most cases of rejection are due to the lack of qualified staff or the need to prepare buildings and infrastructure, which the relevant authorities consider legally unjustified. Accusations continue to mount against schools for refusing admission, despite the law's commitment to inclusive education rights. The council follows up on complaints through official procedures, including communication with the Ministry of Education and field teams to assess each case, aiming to ensure students are accepted or that alternative inclusive schools are provided. The law also emphasizes that if rejection persists, parents have the right to file administrative or judicial complaints, with the possibility of criminal penalties being applied to violating institutions.
