Rector's Letter

Dear Sir/Madam,

Universitas Negeri Surabaya (UNESA) extends its warmest greetings and best wishes to your institution. In line with global commitments and the mandate of the Republic of Indonesia Law Number 8 of 2016 concerning Persons with Disabilities, higher education institutions play a crucial role in creating an inclusive, friendly, and accessible academic environment for all people without exception.

As a tangible manifestation of this commitment, UNESA officially launches the international ranking system, the UNESA Disability Inclusion Metric (DIMETRIC). This program is designed to evaluate and appreciate the efforts of higher education institutions worldwide in implementing disability policies and services.

The measurement in the DIMETRIC system is based on 6 (six) comprehensive main indicators, including:

1. Leadership: Evaluation of the policies and commitment of institution leaders.
2. Strategic Planning: Long-term plans for developing disability facilities.
3. Special Policies: Internal regulations that support equal rights for persons with disabilities.
4. Institutionalization: Special units or service centers handling disability issues.
5. Cooperation: Partnerships with various parties to improve inclusive services.
6. Facilities & Accommodations: Accessibility of buildings, transportation, and other supporting facilities.

Therefore, we proudly invite your institution to actively participate in the 2026 UNESA DIMETRIC ranking. This participation will be a tangible manifestation of your institution's dedication to supporting an equal educational ecosystem.

Registration and complete guidelines for filling out the instrument can be accessed through our official portal at:

Thus we convey this invitation letter. Thank you for your attention and willingness to cooperate in advancing inclusive education.

Sincerely,
