dc.description.abstract | In Ethiopia, individuals with disabilities have limited access to educational and vocational
training opportunities. This study investigates prevailing challenges and opportunities for the
participation of students with disabilities in vocational education programs in Ethiopia. Data
for the study were gathered from the five biggest regions out of the 11 in the country by
selecting two colleges of technical and vocational education from each region. A total of 110
trainers and 28 students with disabilities from the selected colleges completed the
questionnaire. In addition, 30 regional and college-level administrators were interviewed.
Finally, all 10 colleges were evaluated through direct observation in terms of the accessibility
of their physical environments. The results revealed significant barriers that limited full
participation of students with disabilities, such as lack of adaptive educational materials and
facilities, lack of trained trainers, and systematic exclusion of students with disabilities. The
results are discussed with a focus on the need for continued improvement of vocational and
technical education considering international and national strategies that endorse the rights
of people with disabilities. | |
