We also consider the status of students with disabilities

Stating that they will use distance education methods simultaneously or without synchronization in all courses in formal education programs, Chairman of the Board of Trustees of Istanbul Gelisim University Gayretli said: “As a university, we consider the status of students with disabilities as much as possible in all measures and practices related to distance education.”

“PRIORITY TARGET: MAKING FULL PARTICIPATION”

Stating that it is one of the primary objectives of ensuring the full participation of students with disabilities in the higher education process, Gayretli said: “Spatial accessibility is a prerequisite for disabled students' access to education. We have exam adaptations that we plan together with peer support for the disabled. Participation in classes is important. We also work to increase the accessibility of people with disabilities in all matters.”

“WE SHOULD MAKE ACCESSIBILITY SUITABLE”

Pointing out that there are close to 50 thousand disabled students in Turkey in total, Gayretli added: “About 5 thousand of them continue their education life with formal education. Many young people with disabilities, such as physically disabled people, those with chronic health problems, people with visual and hearing disabilities apply to YKS and become university students. As easy and convenient as we make accessibility, there is a noticeable increase in these numbers every year.”

“DISABLED SUPPORT TECHNICIAN TITLE WILL BE GIVEN”

Reminding that YÖK aims to open a 'Disabled Support Program' at universities, Member of IGU Board of Trustees Şule Gayretli said: “President of YÖK Prof. Dr. Yekta Saraç had given the good news of the Disability Support Program in the past months. Those who will graduate from the program expected to be at the associate degree level will be given the title of “Disabled Support Technician”. They will be employed in private and public sectors.”
