This blog post describes the challenges and complexities faced by students with disability when selecting subjects for Year 11 and 12. It argues that for Australia to realise its aspirations of excellence and equity, schools and universities must become genuinely inclusive, and that a prosperous future for Australia hinges on its collective commitment to advocate for all and ensure that no one is left behind.  

It focuses on the following subheadings:

• Transition to post-school life.
• Low aspirations or low expectations?
• The Australian Universities Accord Final Report found that students with disability have achieved parity targets, so what is the problem?
• The flow-on effect of educational barriers.
• Re-imagining aspirations and achievement for students with disability.
