残疾人在获得和完成高等教育课程方面面临着一些最高的成本和最重大的障碍。他们还面临进入劳动力市场和毕业后保持稳定就业的众多挑战。 Persons with disabilities face some of the highest costs and most significant barriers to accessing and completing a post-secondary program. They also face numerous challenges entering the workforce and maintaining stable employment after graduation.
这就是为什么艾伯塔省政府正在扩大对残疾学生的支持，以包括那些长期或长期残疾的学生。这一变化将使每年获得这些财政支持的艾伯塔人总数超过 11,000 人，确保他们能够获得完成学业和成功事业所需的资金。 That’s why Alberta’s government is expanding supports for students with disabilities to include those with persistent or prolonged disabilities. This change will bring the total number of Albertans receiving these financial supports to more than 11,000 each year, ensuring they can access the funding they need to complete their studies and lead successful careers.
“我们的政府继续采取措施，使高等教育更容易获得和负担得起，以便所有艾伯塔人都能学习成功所需的技能。通过增加获得残障支持的机会，我们正在确保弱势的艾伯塔人获得他们接受高等教育和找到有价值的职业所需的支持。” “Our government continues to take steps to make post-secondary education more accessible and affordable so that all Albertans can learn the skills they need to succeed. By increasing access to disability supports, we are ensuring vulnerable Albertans have the supports they need to pursue higher education and find rewarding careers.”
_ Demetrios Nicolaides，高等教育部长 _ Demetrios Nicolaides, Minister of Advanced Education
“艾伯塔省的高等教育为成功和繁荣创造了机会。我们的政府致力于通过提高获得高等教育资金的机会来帮助残疾人获得同样的成功。通过高等教育获得的成功可以带来一生的成就，这就是为什么我们将继续确保所有人都能负担得起和获得机会。” “Post-secondary education in Alberta creates opportunities for success and prosperity. Our government is focused on helping those living with disabilities find that same success through increased accessibility to funding for higher education. Success found through post-secondary education can bring a lifetime of achievement, which is why we will continue to ensure opportunities are made affordable and accessible for all.”
Jeremy Nixon，老年人、社区和社会服务部部长 Jeremy Nixon, Minister of Seniors, Community and Social Services
“从众多残疾学生那里听说他们在获得资金方面面临的挑战后，我们很高兴看到这种支持的扩大。这无疑将加强更广泛的无障碍工作，并有助于确保残疾学生获得他们需要的支持。” “Having heard from numerous students with disabilities on the challenges they face in accessing funding, we are pleased to see this expansion of support. This will undoubtedly strengthen broader accessibility efforts and help ensure that students with disabilities receive the support they need.”
