The Center for Inclusive Education (CIE) at the University of Management and Technology (UMT) in Pakistan is a pioneering research center that sets a remarkable example by offering cutting-edge facilities and assistive technology tailored to cater to the unique learning needs of differently-abled students. Within the CIE, students benefit from a wealth of crucial resources, including sign language interpreters, specialized computers with accessibility features like JAWS and DUXBurry, large LEDs, a Projector, Perkin’s Braillers, Braille Frames, Braille Stylus, MP3 Recorders, Video Recorders, Audio Systems, a range of Standardized Assessment Tests, Scanners, White Canes, and Wheelchairs.
The primary goal of the CIE is to establish an environment that optimizes the learning experience for specially-abled students, setting a shining example for other higher education institutions in Pakistan to follow. Beyond just providing accessibility, the CIE is committed to improving the teaching and learning requirements of specially-abled students across Pakistan.
UMT, as a private sector institution, distinguishes itself as the first of its kind in Pakistan, dedicated to creating an inclusive learning environment for differently-abled students pursuing higher education. These students encompass a wide spectrum of impairments, including physical, visual, and hearing. UMT plays an active and forward-thinking role in shaping a more promising future for all specially-abled individuals who are part of the university community.
