A Narration of the Video:
ON DISABILITY
Who are disabled persons?
We are all physically disabled at some time in
our lives. A child, a person with a broken leg, a parent with a pram, an elderly
person, etc. are all disabled in one way or another.
According to World Healt Organization Individuals with
disabilities are defined as those with physical, sensory, emotional,
intellectual, learning, health or other disabilities that may be visible or
invisible, stable or progressive, occurring at birth or during childhood
Problems
According to article 31 of the 1945 national
constitution of Indonesia, education is a right for every citizen, while the
government shoulders the responsibility to provide it.
In Indonesia, people with disabilities are protected by the 1997
Law No. 4 that recognizes equal opportunities in all aspects of life. Article 6
(1) of that same law guarantees appropriate education services for all people
with disabilities at every level of education.
According to Helen Keller International in 2010, less than 4% of
1.5 million of children with disabilities have access to educational services
in Indonesia.
college education is a stage that cannot be enjoyed by a majority
of young people with disabilities in Indonesia.
In general, the problems that disabilities
face to study in university are :
- A difference curiculum between spechial school make the difable get some problems to do the entrance university exam
- Not every university are able to provide special facilities for difables
- Many people don’t have awareness to treat difables in the right way, so there some discriminations that difables feel because of the university personal.
Overall, the problems that
difables faced to study in university are
relative to rights, policies, and equal opportunities for students with
disabilities include: (a) poor inclusive policies from both the Ministries of
Education and Religious Affairs to guide universities and colleges, (b) no follow-up
on the implementation of laws such as the Indonesian regulation guaranteeing
accessibility to public spaces which has still yet to be executed, (c) no
sensitivity training for staff to learn how to teach people with special needs
in inclusive settings, and (d) limited budget in supporting access and
entitlement to education.
most people with disabilities in Indonesia do not speak up or
fight for their rights. It could be one of the reasons why campuses are still
far from being inclusive despite a handful of advocating students with
disabilities.
Solution
Accessibility on campus – PLD (pusat
layanan difabel / CENTER FOR DISABILITIES STUDIES AND SERVICES)
Each university must establish an Office for Students with
Disabilities to clearly be pro-active. The mission of such office is to provide
support for students with disabilities to respond to individual needs and to
encourage independence and empowerment while respecting the academic
requirements of the university. The inclusion of students with disabilities has
to be facilitated by skilled staff able to support this multi-faceted process.
One of the university that established the Centre for Disability Studies and Services is State Islamic University (UIN)
Sunan Kalijaga, the first centre of its kind in Indonesian tertiary/higher education.
CENTER FOR DISABILITIES STUDIES AND SERVICES , TO PROVIDE HIGHER EDUCATION FOR ALL!
CENTER FOR DISABILITIES STUDIES AND SERVICES was established in 2007 in the
UIN Sunan Kalijaga State Islamic University and is the first of its kind in
Indonesia.
It follows the paradigm shift of the United Nations by viewing students with disabilities not as mere “objects of charity” but as “subjects” who can advocate for their own right to receive academics training. As such, the University and the Center fully support the equal and inalienable right to education and accessibility to all human beings, regardless of their differences.

Accessibility
on campus ( Mosque)
Sunan kalijaga mosque, have been designed to accessible for difable
and its proved by the building architecture, but its lack socialiszation in
mosque building. So the place that should be used for difable is used by non
difable.
On the first Friday in
2014,sunan kalijaga mosque made a new history in Friday khutbah prayer. Its
become the first mosque in Indonesia thats facilitating a sign language
interpreter in Friday khutbah prayer.
A deaf person need a sign
language to comunicating each other, for deaf person sign language is used for
all activity,even during worship. But in indonesia never found a sign language
interpreter in Friday khutbah prayer.
Recently, a national
television, TVRI, show a news program that provide a sign language
interpreter,and we hope other channel follow it. Same with that we also hope a
sign language interpreter in Friday khutbah prayer program at sunan kalijaga
mosque known by all difable especially in yogyakarta, and then this program is
followed by all mosque in indonesia.
