Disabilities affect people worldwide and present significant barriers in everyday life, including in education. However, barriers are often caused not only by individual impairments but by environments that lack accessibility.
- Accessibility means ensuring that everyone can independently and equally access physical spaces, digital services, and educational content. This includes removing barriers in buildings, materials, and teaching practices so that all learners can participate fully.
- Accessibility applies to both physical environments (such as buildings and classrooms) and digital spaces (such as websites and learning platforms). Because people have diverse needs, accessibility is an ongoing process.
- Inclusive education builds on this by bringing all learners together in the same environment and adapting teaching to support different abilities and learning styles. By reducing barriers and valuing diversity, inclusive approaches help ensure equal participation and benefit everyone.
