The Ministry of Education has announced that universities cannot refuse to admit disabled students if they meet basic requirements, according to Xinhua.
The measure will go into effect with this year's university enrolments.
Sources from the ministry said that universities will not be allowed to set any limitations on disabled students, except those who cannot fulfil study requirements or take care of themselves.
Universities are still allowed to set limitations on certain majors with special requirements.
