Out of a total 5 grants in 4 countries (Indonesia, Uzbekistan, Kenya and Pakistan) NUST has secured one! The project (Learning4All – A Framework for Disability Inclusion in Research and Education) focuses on disability inclusion in higher education, delivering key outputs such as a high-level study, co-created inclusion principles, disability-inclusive curriculum resources and capacity-building through TOT to promote gender-sensitive inclusivity.

This achievement highlights NUST’s commitment to global collaborations and advancing inclusive education.
