accessible education

Schooling for everyone

Accessible education refers to learning opportunities designed to be available to everyone, regardless of disability, economic status, location, or other barriers.

The term often emphasizes accommodations for students with physical or learning disabilities—ramps, screen readers, captioned videos, extended testing time.

More broadly, it includes efforts to reduce cost, increase flexibility, or reach underserved populations: Online courses have made higher education more accessible.

The phrase implies education as a right rather than a privilege.
