                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.
