SUMMARY:

This research is part of the Research Line Contemporary Studies and Educational Practices of the Graduate Program in Education: Contemporary Contexts and Popular Demands at the Federal Rural University of Rio de Janeiro (UFRRJ) and is linked to the Research Group Observatory of Special Education and Educational Inclusion. Access to education through the democratization of opportunities, participation, learning, and development are fundamental principles of inclusive education from a human rights perspective. Within this understanding, public educational policies reflect decision-making processes and must be implemented by education systems, ensuring access, services, and the necessary support so that students with disabilities can learn and develop within the context of higher education. The objective of this research is to analyze the policies of retention and academic success aimed at students with disabilities enrolled in undergraduate programs at the Federal Institute of Education, Science and Technology of Goiás (IF Goiano). This study adopts a qualitative research approach, using a case study design. Data production was carried out through document analysis and a case study, including semi-structured interviews with the Rector of IF Goiano, coordinators of the Centers for Assistance to People with Special Educational Needs (NAPNEs) located at the rectorate and campuses, as well as a focus group with students with disabilities enrolled in undergraduate programs at IF Goiano, Urutaí Campus. Data were analyzed using the Documentary Method of Interpretation and document analysis. The results indicate that IF Goiano has developed policies focused on access, retention, and academic success since 2009; however, these policies are not monitored or evaluated. Their impact is mainly related to students’ presence and willingness to remain in undergraduate programs, where they face challenges associated with the significant lack of curricular accessibility and adequate conditions for learning and academic success. The findings also reveal that dialogue and individualized support provided by professors need improvement and that students require accessibility resources. Inclusive education has been primarily conducted by NAPNE coordinators, most of whom do not have training in special education from an inclusive perspective and accumulate multiple institutional responsibilities. Support services are provided by undergraduate interns and by specialized educational support teachers hired through public procurement processes, resulting in high professional turnover. Overall, the data reveal that students continue to face numerous barriers and often overcome them through considerable individual effort to complete their higher education studies.
