Postsecondary Education Standards Development Committee

Development of proposed postsecondary education standards – 2021 initial recommendations report

The Ontario government established two Standards Development Committees in 2017, to make recommendations for new accessibility standards for education, in both the Kindergarten to Grade 12 (K-12) and postsecondary education sectors. The Postsecondary Education Standards Development Committee is responsible for making recommendations to remove barriers in Ontario’s publicly funded colleges and universities.

In this report, the committee brings forward for public comment and feedback a comprehensive series of draft recommendations on what accessibility standards for postsecondary education should include. It is the result of the extensive joint efforts of representatives from the disability community and the education sector to identify the barriers that postsecondary students with disabilities face and the measures needed to remove and prevent them.

Comité d’élaboration des normes pour l’éducation postsecondaire

Élaboration de propositions de normes pour l’éducation postsecondaire – Rapport de recommandations initiales 2021

En 2017, le gouvernement de l’Ontario a créé deux comités d’élaboration des normes, chargés de formuler des recommandations concernant de nouvelles normes d’accessibilité pour l’éducation de la maternelle à la 12e année et pour l’éducation postsecondaire. Le Comité d’élaboration des normes pour l’éducation postsecondaire a pour mission de formuler des recommandations visant à éliminer les obstacles dans les collèges et universités de l’Ontario financés par les deniers publics.

Dans le présent rapport, le comité soumet aux commentaires et à la rétroaction du public une série complète de recommandations préliminaires détaillant les points que devraient inclure les normes d’accessibilité pour l’éducation postsecondaire. Ce document est le fruit des nombreux efforts conjoints déployés par des représentants de la communauté des personnes handicapées et du secteur de l’éducation pour repérer les obstacles auxquels se heurtent les étudiantes et étudiants handicapés au sein du système d’éducation postsecondaire et définir les mesures nécessaires pour supprimer et empêcher ces obstacles.
