The paper focuses on the main aspects of working towards making quality higher education accessible for persons with disabilities. The paper reveals specific educational conditions necessary for teaching and supporting students with disabilities, such as: developing and implementing career guidance programmes, adapted educational programmes, programmes for social psychological support, programmes for employment assistance and post-graduate support of students. Adaptation of educational programmes implies not only establishing a set of common requirements for adjusting the educational process to teaching individuals with disabilities depending on the specifics of their disability, but it also implies developing universal approaches and requirements for providing special settings in which their learning takes place. It is important that physical (architectural), informational, academic services and facilities be available for students with different disabilities and that members of the staff of an education organization have special competencies for working with the disabled persons. The paper also stresses the necessity of developing and implementing an effective model of extending the successful experience that a number of universities have in teaching students with disabilities to the system of higher education in general. This major goal could be achieved through the establishment of a network of resource and training centers in the regions of Russia.

The article deals with the issues of legal regulation of ensuring accessibility of higher education for the disabled and people with disabilities.

The article analyzes current trends in the legal fi eld of inclusive education.

The paper focuses on the problem of accessibility and quality of higher education for students with disabilities. We describe our experience in organising network interaction between the MSUPE Resource and Training Center for Disabled People established in 2016-2017 and partner universities in ‘fixed territories’. The need for cooperation and network interaction arises from the high demand for the cooperation of efforts of leading experts, researchers, methodologists and instructors necessary for improving the quality and accessibility of higher education for persons with disabilities. The Resource and Training Center offers counseling for the partner universities, arranges advanced training for those responsible for teaching of the disabled, and offers specialized equipment for temporary use. In this article, we emphasize the importance of organizing network interactions with universities and social partners in order to ensure accessibility of higher education for students with disabilities.

The Autonomous Non-Commercial Organization “Minority Report” Research Center carried out a complex all-Russian monitoring of accessibility of higher education for students with disabilities in 1/3 of state universities (165 universities in 51 regions). The authors explored the issue from the point of view of organizations offering services in higher education (universities) as well as from the point of view of their customers (disabled students and their parents) and completed the picture with the data obtained through monitoring and participant observation; this enabled the authors to reveal the main problems that students with disabilities experience in getting higher education – in the stages of career guidance, university admission, studying at university and further employment. For instance, the authors point out to the legal restriction ‘one university – one profession’ referring to admission quotas for students with disabilities; problems with getting documents required for university application; low accessibility of educational environment and insufficient supply of special teaching devices; low accessibility of university websites etc. The authors propose the following specific measures for raising the accessibility of higher education for the disabled: introducing changes to legal acts restricting the opportunities of the disabled in higher education; changing the practices in organizations responsible for medical and social assessment in how they provide documents required for university application; expanding the services offered by resource and training centers; introducing a unified standard for university websites in sections referring to disability services, etc. This project was supported by state grant funds, Executive Order of the President of the Russian Federation issued on April 01, 2015 #79-рп, and on the basis of the contest carried out by the All-Russian Non-Governmental Organization «Liga Zdorovya Natsii».

Introduction. Dual education is an integrative characteristic of practiceoriented education system. Dual education implies practical training on the basis of employing organizations. The authors did not aim to develop a model of dual teacher education as a whole. The aim of the article is to study the experience and describe the model of transition to dual pedagogical education through networking of educational organizations of different levels. Materials and methods: theoretical (analysis of scientific- methodological and normative-advisory literature, study of experience of higher educational institutions), empirical (observation). As a result, the necessity of introducing dual education in higher education was studied and theoretically substantiated; the principles and requirements of transition to dual pedagogical education were identified; the recommendations on updating the content of work programs from the position of increasing the proportion of practical activity of students in employing organizations were developed. The organization of dual education implies social and professional cooperation of regional authorities, specialized organizations and higher education organization. In addition to serious structural changes in the regulatory and legal field, documentation accompanying the implementation of the educational process, dual education implies the development of financial mechanisms of students' remuneration. The author does not touch upon the financial side of the issue in question, it is about the model of transition to the duality of pedagogical education. The content of methodological disciplines is mastered by students on the basis of the employing organization. Cooperation agreements are signed: with the representative of the employer, student and higher education organization, which stipulate the rights and responsibilities of all parties. Each student is assigned a teacher-mentor, who introduces the student to the corporate culture of the profile organization, provides the acquisition of professional skills, participates in the assessment of learning outcomes. Conclusions. To organize the transition stage of dual training it is necessary to review the content of practical classes, to determine the responsibilities of a teacher-mentor, to build a system of career guidance work with high school students.

The Right

Background: South Africa’s Constitution guarantees everyone, including persons with disabilities, the right to education. A variety of laws are in place obliging higher education institutions to provide appropriate physical access to education sites for all. In practice, however, many buildings remain inaccessible to people with physical disabilities.Objectives: To describe what measures South African universities are taking to make their built environments more accessible to students with diverse types of disabilities, and to assess the adequacy of such measures.Method: We conducted semi-structured in-depth face-to-face interviews with disability unit staff members (DUSMs) based at 10 different public universities in South Africa.Results: Challenges with promoting higher education accessibility for wheelchair users include the preservation and heritage justification for failing to modify older buildings, ad hoc approaches to creating accessible environments and failure to address access to toilets, libraries and transport facilities for wheelchair users.Conclusion: South African universities are still not places where all students are equally able to integrate socially. DUSMs know what ought to be done to make campuses more accessible and welcoming to students with disabilities and should be empowered to play a leading role in sensitising non-disabled members of universities, to create greater awareness of, and appreciation for, the multiple ways in which wheelchair user students continue to be excluded from full participation in university life. South African universities need to adopt a systemic approach to inclusion, which fosters an understanding of inclusion as a fundamental right rather than as a luxury.
