The accessibility requirement of educational policies goes beyond the mere education of students with disabilities. It involves a profound reinvention of schools, aimed at creating inclusive learning environments that cater to the diverse needs of all students.

Accessibility or Reinventing Education delves into the transformative changes that have reshaped the roles and missions of schools. It challenges them to consider the barriers to learning that impact students, irrespective of their unique characteristics, and strive to make themselves accessible to the widest possible audience.

This comprehensive book explores the various strategies employed by school stakeholders to bring the principles of accessibility to life on a daily basis. It sheds light on the efforts made to create accessible school environments, the conditions for leveraging digital technologies, and the reimagining of relationships between teachers and their specialist counterparts. Furthermore, it examines the emerging figures of ineducability, arising from the accessibility imperative, and proposes a grammar of accessibility to guide the implementation of inclusive policies in school settings.

By embracing accessibility, schools can foster a culture of inclusion and equality, enabling all students to thrive and reach their full potential. This requires a collaborative effort from educators, policymakers, and community members, as well as a commitment to continuous improvement and adaptation. Through the exploration of accessibility in Reinventing Education, we gain valuable insights into the path toward creating a more equitable and inclusive educational system for all.
