Assistive Technologies Transforming the Lives of Learners With Disabilities in Higher Education: The South African University Context
Abstract
Learners with disabilities have a right to quality education. They have earned their place in higher education and should be treated fairly and with respect. This is often not the case in South Africa, where students with disabilities are often marginalized or treated like tokenistic entrances. During post-democracy, the higher education sector in South Africa has inherent problems stemming from the apartheid regime. Post-democracy, in South Africa, the first thing on the agenda for the government was to transform the higher education arena. Universities had to increase entrance to historically disadvantaged learners who were marginalized during apartheid. In the new democracy, more learners with disabilities have entered higher education, and racial integration was also made possible at the university level.
