Disability Rights: 35 Rejections Noted
The article addresses the issue of some educational institutions in Jordan refusing to admit students with disabilities, with particular focus on complaints submitted to the Higher Council for Persons with Disabilities. The government confirmed that the Law on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities guarantees the right of all students to inclusive education. It explained that reasons for rejection are often related to the lack of specialized staff, inadequate facilities, or the absence of accommodating arrangements, though these reasons do not negate the student's right to education. The report clarified that the council monitors these complaints and works to resolve them in coordination with the Ministry of Education. In many cases, refusals are resolved by facilitating the student's admission or providing alternative educational options. However, persistent refusal despite interventions could expose the institutions to legal accountability.
