There was a course (funded by the EEC) which provided training for use of the Internet, for members of the local disability community. It was held at a former college of education in Camden, London,in 1994-5 This education course is no longer provided. I seem to remember that the student area was not fully accessible.
Most English education establishments have no idea about basic human anatomy, because they consider that both their pupils and teachers, have to have their brains in their feet and so provided them with steps in order to learn something to further their career.
