Does the constitution explicitly require schools or educational institutions to be physically accessible?

Physical accessibility refers to environmental adaptations that are specific to enabling persons with disabilities to access schools or educational institutions, such as ensuring access to elevators in all schools that have more than one floor.

No specific provision means that the constitution does not explicitly guarantee the physical accessibility of schools to persons with disabilities. This does not mean that the constitution denies this right, but that it does not explicitly guarantee it.

School accessibility explicitly guaranteed means that the constitution explicitly guarantees the physical accessibility of schools to persons with disabilities. This category does not include general guarantees of physical accessibility in public places.
