NDA Submission to the Department of Further and Higher Education, Research, Innovation and Science on the Tertiary Education Strategy

The NDA advises that the new strategy should be aligned with the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (UNCRPD), the recently published National Human Rights Strategy for Disabled People, as well as other relevant policies and strategies relevant to education and employment, such as the Roadmap to Social Inclusion, and the upcoming Pathways to Work Strategy.

The NDA also focused on the requirement for a Universal Design for Education approach to be rolled out across the sector to ensure the full inclusion of students with disabilities.
