While learning for most children with epilepsy is seen to be a challenge, it is important to know that they stand equal chances just like other normal kids to getting education.

This means it is against the law for education and training providers to discriminate against people with epilepsy. This includes nursery schools and playgroups, primary and secondary schools, and higher education.
