Student-centred approach within the Ashoka community
Systemic-shift approach with the community outside Ashoka
These statistics clearly indicate the enormity of the challenge of bringing students with disabilities into the higher
education system. Many of them discontinue their education after high school owing to several barriers. These
include limited availability of resources and support systems and a lack of awareness about their strengths and
capabilities.
A systemic change across different levels of educational institutions as well as regulatory frameworks is needed
to harness the abilities of these students. Challenging the status quo is precisely what Ashoka University initiated
through the Office of Learning Support (OLS) in 2016.
Our Approach
The OLS follows a two-pronged approach in its work.
1.
2.
Within Ashoka, the range of our work covers awareness and sensitization to daily academic and residential
support to career planning for students registered with us. Learning Support is available to all Ashoka students
who struggle with different aspects of their academics, unrelated to disability too.
Besides the students with disabilities, another 3 per cent of Ashoka students receive support from the office with
respect to their study skills, time management, specific academic skills related guidance, and managing overall
academic rigour.
