From 2025, all educational institutions in Spain will have to comply with strict digital accessibility requirements as established by Royal Decree 193/2023 and Law 11/2023, which transposes the European Accessibility Act. This regulatory framework represents a significant advance towards a more inclusive education, but also poses significant challenges for Universities and Business Schools that must adapt their content and digital platforms.
At Samoo by Pentec, we want to help you understand the implications of this regulation and turn this obligation into an opportunity to transform your students' educational experience.
What do the digital accessibility regulations require of Educational Institutions from 2025 onwards?
Royal Decree 193/2023
This decree requires all public institutions or those that provide services to the Administration to adapt their digital content to ensure accessibility. The deadlines for compliance begin in January 2025.
Law 11/2023
This law, based on the European Accessibility Act, establishes that digital educational content must be accessible to all people, including those with visual, hearing, cognitive and motor disabilities. The deadline for implementation is June 28, 2025.
Both regulations share a common goal: to ensure that platforms, documents, videos and other educational materials are accessible to all users, regardless of their abilities or needs.
Why is digital accessibility in education crucial?
A common misconception is that accessibility only affects a small percentage of students with recognized disabilities (1-2%). However, statistics show that 30% to 40% of the student body can benefit from accessible design due to conditions such as dyslexia, ADHD, ASD, color blindness or even temporary disabilities.
By adapting educational content with an accessible approach, you not only comply with regulations, but you enhance the learning experience for everyone. This translates into:
- Increased student retention.
- Increased school success.
- A stronger educational ROI.
