Empowering Students with Disabilities through Inclusivity!
Today marks a new chapter in the journey toward inclusive higher education at FATA University.
On the occasion of the International Day of Persons with Disabilities, a historic Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) was formally signed between FATA University and Pak Everbright Development Organization (PEDO), alongside the official inauguration of the Disability Resource Center (DRC).
This landmark initiative reflects a shared commitment to promoting the rights, inclusion, accessibility, and empowerment of persons with disabilities (PWDs) in Pakistan. The DRC is dedicated to providing support, guidance, accessible facilities, and equal opportunities for students with disabilities, helping create a more inclusive and supportive learning environment on campus.
The initiative is aligned with the HEC Policy 2021 and the relevant implementation framework for students with disabilities, with a focus on ensuring equal access to education, skills development, employment opportunities, health, and meaningful participation in community life.
Both institutions also reaffirmed their commitment to women's empowerment, with particular emphasis on creating a safe, accessible, inclusive, and opportunity-rich environment for female students, including women with disabilities.
We sincerely appreciate the vision and leadership of Prof. Dr. Mohsin Nawaz, Vice Chancellor, FATA University, and the continued commitment of Mr. Shahab Ud Din, CEO, PEDO, toward advancing inclusion, accessibility, and equal opportunities for persons with disabilities.
Together, we are moving toward a future where every student has the opportunity to learn, grow, and succeed, and no student is left behind.
