Information And Communication

Higher Education institutions have developed online information services and degrees as an echo of the Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) incidence in all society fields. Equal access to education is a fundamental right; but equal access to higher education for people with disabilities is far from being achieved yet. To this inequality has to be added the difficulty of some groups to participate in the information society, the so called infoexclusion. The short number of students with disabilities in higher education makes evident the presence of barriers for this people to get into this educational level. One of them is the low degree of accessibility to digital services and studies offered by the Universities, something that can be considered a new kind of segregation.

The Republic

The article is devoted to the problem of equal access of persons with disabilities to higher education. The problem of eliminating discrimination against the rights of persons with disabilities is relevant for the whole world, including for the Republic of Kazakhstan. The purpose of the study is to identify barriers to admission to higher education institutions for applicants with disabilities, as well as to identify possible ways to overcome and eliminate them. The methods of mixed research were used: qualitative and quantitative. The study involved 120 students of grades 10-11 of schools in the Almaty region with disabilities. The results of the survey revealed barriers to university admission. A model for overcoming barriers to university admission for people with disabilities is proposed, which will increase the level of accessibility of higher education.

Prior Learning

Distance education is defined as a system that can provide access to people who – because of work commitments, personal and/or social circumstances, geographical distance or poor quality or inadequate prior learning experiences – do not have the opportunity to study full time (Badat, 2004). It is seen as a way to correct inequalities, improving access to higher education for poorer or disadvantaged students. However, though distance education is seen as a feasible approach to achieve universal access for populations that might not otherwise receive a college education this chapter argues instead that universal access is just a form of rhetoric by which cultural social class and inequities are reinforced and reproduced (Bourdieu & Passeron, 1990).

Higher Educational Institutions

Higher education is defined as a factor of social mobility - with equal access and as a factor of differentiation fixation - in the absence of such equality. In general, Kazakhstan has the resources to provide access to higher education for all categories of young people, regardless of income level: there is the rise of higher educational institutions, including private ones.
