Suara16% said Malaysia’s education set ambitious goals for equity, access, and wellbeing, but lacked clear mechanisms to ensure disabled students can progress on equal terms. Official data shows students with disabilities make up only 0.18 per cent of higher education enrolment — roughly 5,600 students nationwide. Many PPKI students follow modified curricula, face limited subject offerings, or are channelled into narrow pathways, leaving some without qualifications required for tertiary programmes. Suara16% also raised concerns about higher education admissions, noting that the University Central Unit (UPU) online system’s rigid criteria and automated processes can disadvantage qualified PwD applicants. The coalition warned that as Malaysia faces an ageing population, the cost of exclusion could compound across generations.
