Abstract

Progress is currently being made towards more inclusive and equitable models, recognizing that education is a fundamental right. The objective of this paper is to identify the problems and difficulties that disabled people have in accessing and including higher education and their link with human rights principles. It is considered a qualitative, non-experimental, cross-sectional, descriptive methodology. The results highlight the absence of regulations that regulate their stay in higher education institutions. It is concluded that work must be done on inclusion, considering the needs of people and approving norms related to the safeguarding of the human right to education of people with disabilities.
