    A Right to Inclusive Education for Persos with Disabilities in Universities in Uganda
    (Uganda Christian University, 2025-05-23) Acam Elizabeth Christine
    Uganda has progressive laws and policies that promote inclusive education at all levels. This dissertation examines the realization of the right to inclusive education for persons with disabilities in universities. The study uses desktop research to look at legal documents, policies, and academic writings. The study finds that some public universities have made efforts like creating disability support centres and admitting students with disabilities through an affirmative action scheme. However, most private universities fall short of this practice. Generally, in both public and private universities, students with disabilities are experiencing exclusion due to inaccessible buildings, a lack of support services, and limited awareness among university staff. This dissertation recommends staff training on disability inclusion, increasing funding, modifying infrastructure, adapting ICT and library services, and implementing disability policies to realize disability inclusion in universities.
