from getting education until tertiary level (Education Act 1996).
• The welfare and needs of the SEN learners from the monetary aspects to psychological supports are provided by the government
• Even though the IHLs are under the supervision of the Ministry of Higher Education, the policy on the admission as well as the welfare of the SEN learners are not uniform (Ministry of Higher Education, 2011).
