Enforce Access Rights for disabled people to study in further education

Additional Information

"3. Education
It’s against the law for a school or other education provider to treat disabled students unfavourably. This includes:

‘direct discrimination’, eg refusing admission to a student because of disability
‘indirect discrimination’, eg only providing application forms in one format that may not be accessible
‘discrimination arising from a disability’, eg a disabled pupil is prevented from going outside at break time because it takes too long to get there
‘harassment’, eg a teacher shouts at a disabled student for not paying attention when the student’s disability stops them from easily concentrating
victimisation, eg suspending a disabled student because they’ve complained about harassment"

From my own experience, some institutions still fail to abide by this law even in todays modern society, this petition aims to get the government to enforce this law and these rights.
