Analyzing Performance of Student Unions for Students with Physical Disabilities

Abstract

The primary objective of this quantitative study was to evaluate the performance of student unions supporting students with physical disabilities. The study population comprised all physically disabled students enrolled in universities across Punjab. A convenient sample of 30 such students was selected from the University of the Punjab, Government College University, University of Management and Technology, and the University of Education. Data was collected using a self-developed questionnaire, administered through interviews. The responses were transcribed, coded, and thematically analyzed, with frequency distributions calculated to identify patterns. The key findings indicated that student unions were actively engaged in both educational and political advocacy for students with physical disabilities. Based on these findings, conclusions were drawn and recommendations were made, urging policymakers to conduct a comprehensive survey of student unions serving this population.
