We saw a huge increased interest in Accessibility at Bett 2023. Representatives of five countries came together to share their experiences at the SMART Accessibility Round Table. They discussed how technology could better support inclusive learning environments for all.

The countries represented were: Canada, Austria, Finland, Scotland and England and some differences quickly came to light. Some had immersive technology as part and parcel of a package for children with additional needs, others were struggling to get laptops for their students.
