The Ministry aims to ensure that people of determination receive the necessary training and rehabilitation to enable them to integrate into society. It said it was keen on raising the level of rehabilitation and educational services provided to people of determination through its affiliated centres, which reflects the level of interest in this category.
The national policy to empower people of determination is based on six main axes, including the health and rehabilitation axis, the education axis in order to develop an inclusive education system in the fields of general, vocational and higher education, the vocational rehabilitation and employment axis, and the accessibility axis, the need to provide standard unified buildings, taking into account the needs of people with disabilities at the state level, and the axis of social protection, and family empowerment for the purpose of providing social security policies appropriate to the needs of people with disabilities, and the axis of public life, culture and sports.
