Bug Description
Mahara has recently upgraded to select2 4.0, but there appear to be outstanding accessibility issues with this version, eg. https:/
These need to be evaluated and fixed (more info coming when I've found out how serious they are ...)
In addition, the user manual might need to be updated with a description of the new focus behaviour (needing to press Enter before starting to type) - however, an alternative could be to include this as an accessible description on the page itself.

The main issue is that screen readers don't read out the options when the combo box is opened (pressing up/down visually changes the focused item but doesn't give any audio feedback) - patch for this incoming
