Hi All,
Education is key to empowerment. Education is critical to make blind and visually impaired persons contributing members of our economy. The education that blind people get should be at par with what other citizens have access to. There have been a number of innovations that have been made across the country to include blind and visually impaired into the mainstream. There are a number of interesting efforts made to make teaching of Science and Maths interesting and possible like the efforts made at the Deonar school,Hyderabad. Besides the various technologies and products used to make education, exam writing etc accessible. For a blind person to be fully included, he/she needs to get quality education. The episode will seek to establish that quality education can be provided. The National education programmes must start counting blind and visually impaired persons as part of the diversity that exists in the classroom and hence must evolve pedagogic techniques, curriculum, school designs etc accordingly. The educationists should recognise the need for including blind people in school and must believe in it. In essence we would like to establish that blind people can be included in the National scheme of things and they must be included. The serial will project the possibilities and the motivation. Folks, please do share examples of good education practices, examples like the Delhi Public School (R K Puram),, Innovative teaching methods deployed in schools whther special school or inclusive schools, Examples of students who have been well included, At the end of the day, we want the country to include us.
