Welcome To The Sunday Vision online: Uganda's leading weekly
I am concerned about the future of people with disabilities, especially the deaf, who face a lot of discrimination by the public universities admission boards.
I wonder whether public universities, especially Makerere University, are under instructions to admit deaf students to only social sciences and arts courses, even when the said students didn’t select these courses when applying for admission.
Education is for all, isn’t it? Makerere University’s admission board should understand that disability is not inability. The board should not marginalise certain categories of disabled persons, especially when the scholarships are provided by the Government.
Disabled or not, a Ugandan is a Ugandan. Nobody should think that somebody cannot read courses such as law, simply because they are disabled.
