The school has been operating various programs to encourage disabled students to participate in active roles under the goal of “Cultivating Creative Leadership of Women Students with Disabilities.” Also, Ewha has been supporting human rights-friendly, disability-friendly, and women-friendly educational environments such as organizations with experts, and personalized learning systems. In addition, despite the geographical limitations of historic buildings with huge values and campuses located on hills, the school aims to supplement school facilities through continuous improvements. Last but not least, Ewha’s excellent teaching and learning support systems were highly praised to be applied to other schools.
