Abstract
The document explores the challenges faced by persons with disabilities (PWDs), particularly visually impaired (VI) students, in accessing inclusive education in public universities within Ethiopia's Amhara National Regional State (ANRS). It highlights the lack of assistive technologies as a major barrier to equal education and its negative impact on academic competitiveness and the realization of the right to education. Using questionnaires and interviews, the study emphasizes the need for policy makers and rights activists to address these gaps to enhance accessibility and inclusivity in education for PWDs.
