Participation in education is defined as the ability to take part in activities and tasks or take actions to perform at school or another educational institution (such as TAFE, university, or skills centre). Participation in education is considered to be affected if a person:
- is attending a special school/institution or special class, or
- needs special support or equipment to learn, or
- needs special access or transport arrangements, or
- needs special assessment procedures, or
- frequently needs time off (one day per week or more), or
- is unable to attend school/institution full-time or at all.
The nature of the restriction may differ across early childhood, primary, secondary education, tertiary and vocational education.
