Many modern-day universities, schools, and other educational institutions today make their students aware of the importance of being unbiased and tolerant.
Even young kids are taught the importance of not discriminating against those with disabilities. Most educational institutions in Australia place significant emphasis on being inclusive. It also means that when universities and schools don’t provide adequate wheelchair access, it is regrettable.
Educators need to be aware of the Disabilities Discrimination Act (DDA). They also need to make sure that their educational institutions meet specific wheelchair access standards.
Why Students Need Proper Wheelchair Access
Students will attend classes most days of the week. If there is no ramp leading up to different buildings on campus, they will have to face the same challenges every single day. There may not be someone to help them every day, and these difficulties can become a deterrent to attending school or college with regularity.
College students may often face more challenging situations. University class schedules aren’t always in fixed locations. Students have to move from one building to another across campus, to attend classes. If they have to struggle with wheelchair access multiple times a day, that can also affect their morale and self-esteem.
Many Different Individuals
Schools, colleges, and universities have many staff members and employees. There are administrators, professors, teachers, and other staff, some of whom might require wheelchair access too. This too makes it necessary for educational institutions to ensure that different buildings on their premises have wheelchair access.
When educational institutions follow the accessibility guidelines set by the DDA, it makes them compliant and ensures that they are sensitive to the needs of their students and employees.
