The Maldives National University (MNU) is committed to fostering an inclusive and equitable educational environment that ensures equal opportunities for students and staff with disabilities. In alignment with Sustainable Development Goal 10 (Reduced Inequalities), the University provides targeted disability support through accessible campus infrastructure, specialised learning environments, reasonable academic and examination adjustments, and financial assistance. These initiatives aim to remove physical, educational, and economic barriers, enabling individuals with disabilities to participate fully and independently in university life. MNU’s progress towards inclusion is further demonstrated by the graduation of its first deaf student, marking an important milestone in advancing equitable access to higher education.
Impact: Improved accessibility, removed barriers to participation, and enabled individuals with disabilities to access, pursue, and succeed in higher education on an equitable basis.
