Education Accessibility

As 2024 begins, education providers need to plan their budgets. Improving website accessibility should be a crucial consideration! It’s not just about checking off boxes; it’s a legal obligation. Yet, the WebAIM Million 2023 report found that in the education sector, website homepages have an average of 42.9 accessibility errors.

Website Accessibility is a Legal Requirement for Education Providers

In April 2024, the Department of Justice (DOJ) mandated that all state and local governments (including schools and libraries) provide accessible websites and mobile applications.

In other words, it’s no longer just advisable for government agencies to make their digital services accessible; it’s now mandatory. All web content and mobile apps provided by state and local governments must comply with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 Level AA.
