Inclusive education student numbers rise

The number of students in Macau’s inclusive education system reached 2,870 in the 2024-25 school year, according to official data. More than 90% of these students continued their education after high school graduation. Authorities said they will continue to provide support in areas such as education, career planning, and employment. There are currently 10 government-subsidized vocational rehabilitation facilities offering sheltered and supported employment services. The fourth phase of a government subsidy initiative aimed at supporting social enterprises is under planning, with an announcement expected in mid-2025. The initiative will cover the employment needs of the elderly, persons with disabilities, and other vulnerable groups.
