Through inclusive programs and services, CHED RO1 ensures that persons with disabilities are provided with equal opportunities to access quality higher education, enabling them to contribute meaningfully to nation-building.

This year’s theme, “Innovation for Inclusion: Building Inclusive Communities Together,” promotes the importance of collective action in creating a society where no one is left behind.

Aligned with Sustainable Development Goal 10 (Reduced Inequalities), CHED RO1 remains committed to breaking down barriers and nurturing equitable environments within the higher education sector.

This weeklong observance, celebrated from July 17 to 23, 2025 under Proclamation No. 597, s. 2024, is spearheaded by the National Council on Disability Affairs (NCDA) in advancing a more inclusive Pilipinas.
