University officials said their expo participation underscored their commitment to providing education for students with disabilities. They added that it was also a platform to highlight the university’s significant accomplishments, such as its international certifications and rankings.
Staff will be discussing how the university facilitates learning opportunities for people with disabilities, equipping them with the skills and knowledge needed to access suitable job opportunities. Officials said these ensured disabled people’s independence and integration into society as active and productive individuals.
The university pavilion features four workshops on psychological care for people with disabilities; highlights student support center services; showcases innovations by students with special needs; offers hand muscle strength assessments and hearing tests for visitors; and provides comprehensive information on academic programs through an interactive touchscreen tour.
The university’s expo involvement aligns with its Strategic Plan 2025. This promotes global education practices, aims to foster local and international connections, and cultivates a healthier university environment.
