The Individual

The focus of our research is on students with disabilities defined by the current National Higher Education Act in Hungary. The actuality of the topic is that after the millennium, due to the expansion of higher education, the above-mentioned students appeared at universities, but regulations dealing with their presence in Hungary were laid down as late as 2007. Earlier researches have studied the accessibility and inclusive practices of the institutions internationally and in Hungary, but only little attention has been paid to these students’ chances of acquisition and retention to higher education. Equal opportunities in higher education appear to be an important supporting factor in our research however, the overall social context of the individual has a great influence on successful entry and graduation. A further research opportunity, a deeper, more extensive quantitative study of the institutional presence of students with disabilities and the factors contributing to their learning success is emerging.

Education Opportunity

The Higher Education Opportunity Act of 2008 (HEOA) contains several important provisions that make postsecondary education more accessible and affordable for young adults with disabilities. This is particularly true for students with intellectual disabilities, as the law created new comprehensive transition and postsecondary programs and provided access to federal student aid to this population for the first time. This article presents a brief summary of the original Higher Education Act of 1965, as well as a detailed summary of the HEOA. Portions of the legislation specific to students with disabilities are highlighted, and specific implications for rehabilitation counselors and pre-service students are presented.

Initiatives have been undertaken in Europe in order to increase the number of university students and graduates. Initiatives have been made undertaken in Europe in order to increase the number of university students and graduates from higher education institutions. Each country emphasizes different aspects of the problem. However, it is common to stress the need for the higher number of university students from “non-traditional” environments, and from the standpoint of both European and world universalism, the environment of the deaf should be considered as such. Study aim: The aim of the study was to evaluate adjustments made at universities to aid the educational process of people with hearing impairments in comparison to adjustments introduced for other forms of disability. The study was based on a diagnostic survey. The exclusion criterion concerned only the universities that did not agree to participate and/or had never educated students with disabilities. The results of the study did not support the research thesis showing that the profile of a university is a significant factor of choice for people with hearing impairments. It was demonstrated that the number of deaf university students is decreasing with time despite statutory deregulation which involved a removal of certain legal barriers. The amendment to the Higher Education Act eliminated legal barriers, but the universities are challenged with the implementation of the regulations in the academic practice.

The University

In the Slovak Republic, on the basis of legislative conditions, the Higher Education Act does not give the possibility to direct the management of public higher education institutions towards the fulfillment of their goals and thus to adapt effectively to the current situation and challenges. This is characterized by processes and structures that are duplicate, problematic or ambivalent, which ultimately prevents public higher education institutions from autonomously receiving and fulfilling their mission. It is therefore important that alternative management trends are introduced into the governance structures to help the development of public higher education institutions. We consider the use of marketing strategic management as such an element. Thus, the use of this type of management can ultimately benefit the university in the form of the required number of pupils. It can also contribute to improving the quality and supply of education, information and information.
