In Buenos Aires, capital of Argentina, work has been done on the UNNE Accessibility Plan, a first stage has already been addressed, which consists of the evaluation and guarantee of minimum access conditions for people with special abilities to the Resistencia Campus.
On the Accessibility Plan of the UNNE, as explained by César Dellamea, Secretary General of Planning, the University works with the vision of adapting university facilities to accessibility regulations.
This will guarantee these rights to people with motor, hearing or visual difficulties who are part of the UNNE community. But it will also favor that many other people with different abilities or physical limitations can decide to enter and participate in the life of the University.
Dellamea stressed that the relevance granted by the University to the accessibility of its premises is not limited only to complying with current regulations, but it is also an objective of the General Secretariat of Planning to promote awareness in the university community and in society in general, regarding equal opportunities for all people, especially those with different abilities.
Programme Context
On June 5, the Minister of Education of the Nation, Alberto Sileoni, announced a new call for the Accessibility Program in National Universities, together with the Secretary of University Policies, Martín Gill. This is the 2013 call in which UNNE will present two projects to finance accessibility works.
