Academic Integration of Individuals with Disabilities in Higher Education Institutions: A Comparative Study

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to demonstrate the effectiveness of Libyan legislation on the rights of persons with disabilities in protecting the rights of students with disabilities in higher education institutions so as to allow for educational integration and job qualification in the various sectors of society، especially after various forms of disability have increased in Libya as a result of genetic or accidental causes as a result of accidents and wars or environmental effects. The two researchers followed a critical analytical approach. The study followed the analytical descriptive approach by presenting and analyzing the provisions of Libyan legislation dealing with the rights of this segment in institutions of higher education. The comparative approach was also followed by presenting the experiences of States in developing legal norms specifically addressing the issue of their equity and reducing the burden of injury on them، in order to gain a deeper understanding of Libyan legal texts in the specific field of educational and rehabilitation integration of this group، thus showing the extent of their shortcomings.
