The principles of providing equal access to and opportunities for higher education are part of the global initiative to advance the right to education for all, and in the last decades their presence in Croatian public education policies has increased. This paper presents existing public policies on higher education aimed at students with disabilities, an underrepresented group in the higher education of European Union countries and the Republic of Croatia. Specifically, the paper provides an overview and analysis of the existing legal framework and examines the measures which have been implemented in higher education of students with disabilities. The paper also assesses the quality of higher education for students with disabilities in the Republic of Croatia. The content analysis of the available documents, policies and measures aimed at increasing the participation of students with disabilities in higher education reveals the current situation, and enables establishing the preconditions necessary for its change. Having in mind that improving the quality of higher education for students with disabilities in Croatia requires systematic effort, the paper concludes with a set of recommendations for the improvement of the current system.
Načela osiguravanja jednakog pristupa i prilika visokom obrazovanju danas su dio globalne inicijative za poticanje prava na obrazovanje za sve, te su posljednjih desetljeća sve zastupljenija i u hrvatskom prostoru javnih politika obrazovanja. U radu je dan prikaz postojećih javnih politika visokog obrazovanja studenata s invaliditetom kao podzastupljene skupine u visokom obrazovanju u zemljama Europske unije i Republici Hrvatskoj. Poseban naglasak u radu stavljen je na prikaz i razradu postojeće zakonske regulative te analizu provedenih mjera visokog obrazovanja za studente s invaliditetom. Rad ujedno sadrži i procjenu kvalitete visokog obrazovanja studenata s invaliditetom u Republici Hrvatskoj. Analizom sadržaja dostupnih dokumenata, te politika i mjera usmjerenih povećanju sudjelovanja studenata s invaliditetom u visokom obrazovanju, u radu je ponuđen pregled postojećeg stanja, te se utvrđuju preduvjeti njegovih promjena. Ciljajući nužnosti sustavnog rada na podizanju kvalitete visokog obrazovanja studenata s invaliditetom u Hrvatskoj, u zaključku su ujedno definirane preporuke za unapređenje sadašnjeg sustava.
