Why Accessibility Matters
According to the Kenya National Bureau of Statistics, approximately 2.2% of Kenyans live with a disability. Many more have undiagnosed learning differences like dyslexia or mild visual impairments. Accessibility tools ensure that every student can learn effectively, regardless of their differences.
Nehiju Learn follows WCAG 2.1 AA guidelines for web accessibility. All interactive elements meet 44px minimum touch target sizes. Navigation works with keyboard only. Screen reader compatibility is maintained across the platform.
