The European Accessibility Act is now in force in Spain and requires many educational institutions to have an accessible website. Find out if your center complies and avoid penalties.
Many training centers are unaware that they are legally required to have an accessible website under the European Accessibility Act.
Learn how to avoid fines of up to €90,000 and improve the digital experience for thousands of users.
The Invisible Risk That Could Cost Your Institution Dearly
Digitalization in education is moving forward relentlessly.
More and more academies, charter schools, and private institutions manage registrations and enrollments through their websites.
But here’s what almost no one knows: web accessibility is a legal obligation.
Even worse, many institutions don’t even know this law exists.
Non-compliance fines can reach €90,000.
What the European Accessibility Act Requires — and Who It Applies To
Since June 2025, the European Accessibility Act has been in force in Spain.
This regulation requires educational centers that provide services or information to the public to meet digital accessibility standards.
Legally obligated are:
- Public and charter schools
- Private centers offering online services to students or families
- Small centers or academies that have received public funding or grants, such as the Digital Kit or European funds
In short: if your institution receives public funds or uses its website to provide educational services, the law applies to you.
Moreover, even if an external company developed the website, the legal responsibility lies with the educational center.
Many providers are unaware of this regulation, so ensuring compliance depends on you.
How Many People You’re Excluding Without Realizing It
An inaccessible educational website excludes thousands of real users:
- People with dyslexia or cognitive difficulties
- People with color blindness or low vision
- Users with photosensitive epilepsy
- Deaf or visually impaired people
- Older adults or users with outdated devices
Complying with the law also means reaching more potential students and improving your institution’s image.
The Consequences of Non-Compliance
Failing to adapt your website can have serious financial and reputational consequences:
- Fines of up to €90,000
- Loss of public funding or grants
- Exclusion from public tenders
- Loss of trust among families and students
Ignoring digital accessibility means putting your institution’s future at risk.
