The study concluded that although some policies are available, they have
not been implemented or practiced to the level of requirements. To facilitate
such processes and mechanisms, there should be clearly defined policies and
procedures directed to the universities from the national level. Policy
decisions are required to facilitate additional financial allocations to the
universities to accommodate the needs of SWDs.
