2025-2026 NED Theme
Empowering Every Learner: Strategies for Universal Access
The 2025-2026 theme Empowering Every Learner: Strategies for Universal Access highlights our commitment to giving every student the chance to reach their full potential through accessible education. This theme aligns with our Equity 2030 initiative, focusing on integrating accessible teaching methods across all subjects. By using accessible design, we will continue to transform learning environments by removing barriers for all learners, including those with accessibility needs. We believe these initiatives will boost student engagement, improve academic performance, and promote a culture of inclusivity for all learners. Together, we will explore how Universal Design for Learning can support our students on their educational journey to achieve their full potential.
