Education & EdTech Accessibility Compliance
In education, an inaccessible platform means a student literally can't learn — which is why this sector faces some of the strictest accessibility enforcement.
Why accessibility matters for schools, universities and EdTech platforms
Learning management systems, course materials, videos and assessments have to work for every student, including those who are blind, deaf or have a learning disability. When they don't, a student is denied equal education — a clear violation under Section 504 and the ADA in the US, and equivalent laws elsewhere.
Videos without captions or transcripts, course PDFs and slides with no tags, quizzes and timers that can't be operated by keyboard or extended, and STEM content (maths, diagrams) with no text alternative.
Which laws apply
US: Section 504, the ADA, and the 2024 Title II rule for public institutions (WCAG 2.1 AA). EU: the EAA and Web Accessibility Directive. India: the RPwD Act.
