The government has announced fully funded scholarship opportunities to pursue higher education in inclusive education. The four slots for Masters of Autism and three slots for Masters of Educational Assistive Technologies are for study based in the United Kingdom. The ministry for higher education said that the aim of these scholarships is to train and develop teachers required to deliver special education under the inclusive education policy of the government.
