Milestones

I think that many disabled adults who want to return to college for certain courses can't because of tuition fees that can go into the thousands. To get more disabled people into work, I think we need to have better access to qualifications.

For many courses, there is no funding for adults to cover tuition fees or anything else. I think there should be full funding for courses to help disabled people gain qualifications to get a job that they are more likely to stay in long-term. I am disabled and have found it impossible to secure any funding for what I would like to study and get a job in. This needs to change.
