The Registrar, Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board is set to bar parents from choosing courses for children living with disabilities, seeking admission into tertiary institutions.
The Registrar of the board made this known at the first National conference on equal opportunity on access to higher education in Nigeria in Abuja.
He says that the board is ready not only to facilitate access but also ensure equity as special arrangements have been made for inclusivity of PWDs in the acquisition of tertiary education.
Declaring the conference open, the Minister of Education, Tahir Mamman said, the federal government was paying attention to ensuring that every member of the society have equal access to education.
He insisted that equal opportunity to higher education must begin with inclusivity.
