The Ministry of Education has revised the admissions guidelines for students
with disabilities to create a more accessible and supportive environment
across Taiwan.

The Ministry is requiring all higher education institutions to provide
designated admission quotas starting from the next academic year.

This move aims to align with the United Nations Convention on the Rights of
Persons with Disabilities and to promote inclusive education.

The policy originates from systems supporting direct admissions for deaf and
blind students, considering the specific needs that standard exams may not
meet, such as auditory or visual impairments.

Specialized testing accommodations will be provided to evaluate the
candidates fairly and place them in suitable programs.

Furthermore, the Ministry plans to support these changes through financial
incentives to universities, encouraging them to increase available spots and
enhance educational resources.
