Universal access to education
- Universal access to education
Universal access to education is the ability of all people to have equal opportunity in education, regardless of their social class, ethnicity, background or physical disabilities. The term is used both in college admission for the middle and lower classes, and in assistive technology for the disabled. Some critics find this idea an example of "political correctness". For a history of the 20th century development in the United States of universal access to colleges, see the book The Big Test.
