Enhancing TAFE Website Accessibility: Education for All

In 2024, making your TAFE institution’s website accessible for students must be a top priority! The ‘Fee-Free TAFE’ government initiative, offering tuition-free courses to disabled students, continues this year. Consequently, it has never been more crucial for TAFE’s to ensure a user-friendly online environment with the help of Recite Me technology.

Students Encounter Digital Barriers Online

Disability, a regular aspect of human life, impacts 4.4 million individuals (18%) in Australia. Despite this prevalence, students with disabilities encounter barriers that prevent them from accessing and participating in further education.

Fee-Free TAFE is offering an additional 300,000 places for students across Australia, yet many of these students will be unable to learn due to their different learning style, ability or language.

To support the 330,000 higher education students who identify as having a disability, and the 746,080 international students in Australia, online education must take into account the diversity of students.

Why you Should Provide Online Support for Students

Equal Opportunities

Not everyone learns the same way. Digital materials must account for varying learning styles and abilities, and be inclusive of everyone.

Meet Legal Requirements

By supporting all students online, you are meeting the requirements of the DDA that states it is illegal to discriminate against those with disabilities.

Diversity and Culture

Being able to support overseas learners means you can attract the best students, develop a diverse and inclusive campus, and enrich the learning environment for everyone.
