Access to computer skills is an excellent way of encouraging people from very

12.6.3 Policy conclusion 12
Colleges and other educational institutions are places where people can feel part of a
community, participating in a learning culture. This includes those who have been on
the margins. The institutions need support in developing this function, in the mission
they have and the facilities they provide. Improving the design and quality of
education’s physical environment should be a high priority.
