Support centres set up at universities for students with disabilitiesSupport service centres for students with disabilities have been set up at the HCM City Pedagogy University and HCM City University of Social Sciences and Humanities. The HCM City Pedagogy University has the highest number of students with disabilities among universities in the city, with a total of 45 students, including 26 who are visually impaired, according to DRD. The students currently receive support such as scholarships, laptops and computers from sponsors, but the support is only seasonal. As part of the project, from April to December 2016, the mentors of two partner universities assessed the needs of 45 students with disabilities. Based on individual plans of students with disabilities and suggestions from mentors, the project delivered support packages to help them with their studies.
