-Explore and Learn Limited- (“the Company,” “we,” “our,” or “us”) is committed to ensuring digital accessibility for all users, including persons with disabilities. We believe every learner—regardless of ability—deserves equal access to education, information, and opportunity.
We strive to conform to the -Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1- at Level AA, and we align our practices with the -National Digital Inclusion Policy- of the Federal Ministry of Communications and Digital Economy, as well as the -Discrimination Against Persons with Disabilities (Prohibition) Act 2018- of Nigeria.
Our goal is to provide an inclusive learning environment where all users can perceive, understand, navigate, and interact with our website, mobile applications, and AI-powered services.
Accessibility Statement
| Feature | How We Implement It |
|---------|----------------------|
| -Text alternatives- | All non-text content (images, icons, charts) has descriptive alt text for screen readers. |
| -Keyboard navigation- | Every interactive element (menus, buttons, forms, AI chat inputs) can be accessed using only a keyboard (Tab, Enter, Spacebar). No mouse required. |
| -Clear color contrast- | Text and background combinations meet WCAG 2.1 Level AA contrast ratios (minimum 4.5:1 for normal text). |
| -Resizable text- | Users can zoom up to 200% without loss of content or functionality. |
| -Descriptive link text- | Links clearly describe their destination (e.g., "Download grade report" instead of "Click here"). |
| -Consistent navigation- | Menus and page structures remain predictable across all pages. |
| -Error suggestions- | Forms provide clear error messages and suggestions for correction. |
| -Captions & transcripts- | All video content includes captions; audio content includes transcripts. |
| -Screen reader compatibility- | Our code follows proper HTML semantics (headings, landmarks, ARIA labels) to work with JAWS, NVDA, VoiceOver, and TalkBack. |
What web accessibility is
3. AI-Specific Accessibility Considerations
Because we use Artificial Intelligence (AI) to deliver learning services, we have taken additional steps to ensure these features are accessible:
| AI Feature | Accessibility Measure |
|------------|------------------------|
| -AI chatbot / virtual tutor- | Fully operable via keyboard and screen reader; provides text-only fallback; supports simple, clear language. |
| -Personalized learning recommendations- | Can be turned off or overridden by manual selection for users who prefer no automated suggestions. |
| -Speech-to-text input- | Available for users with mobility challenges; also provides text input alternative. |
| -Text-to-speech output- | Available for users with visual impairments or reading difficulties (e.g., dyslexia). |
| -Image description generation (AI alt-text)- | Automatically suggests descriptions for user-uploaded images; user can edit or replace. |

4. Known Limitations & Ongoing Work
We are actively working to improve accessibility. Currently, the following areas have known limitations:
| Limitation | Planned Fix | Target Date |
|------------|-------------|--------------|
| Some older PDF learning materials lack proper tagging for screen readers | Convert to accessible HTML or tagged PDF | `[e.g., Q3 2026]` |
| Live virtual classroom recordings do not yet have automated captions | Integrate live captioning API | `[e.g., Q4 2026]` |
| A small number of third-party embedded tools (e.g., quiz plugins) have partial keyboard navigation issues | Replace with accessible alternatives or request vendor fixes | `[e.g., Q1 2027]` |
If you encounter a barrier that is not listed here, please contact us (see Section 8).
