-- Date: 6/ 10/ 2020 Subject: request to submit a letter to RCI for the introduction of short term course for existing teachers on special education of the blind - regarding. Dear Sir, I K. Srinivas the 100% blind working as a teacher in the school education department of Telangana state. I would like to submit the following for kind consideration of the office-bearers of unions associations of the blind in this platform and needful action at the earliest. At present we the visually impaired are successfully studying unlike cited people the academic courses from KG to PG even PHD. Professional courses like DED, B ed LLB, LLM, MBA, MCA, and so on. The government is taking the necessary steps to provide education to visually impaired children. As part of this, the government is running special schools for boys and girls with complete visual impairment as well as inclusive education for the partially blind students in general schools. However, the partially blind students who are studying in normal schools are unable to get quality education due to lack of special trained teachers. The teachers working in normal schools are not known the special education of the blind. Because there is no compulsory paper on special education of the blind in normal teacher training courses like D ed and B ed. At present the special education courses which are being offered by the various universities (regular or distance) are not helpful and useful to the teachers working in normal schools. Because these courses are 2 years long term courses. A teacher who has already completed teacher training is reluctant to receive this training for two years. There is a strong need for introduction of 1 month or 2 months short term course for existing teachers on special education of the blind (regular and distance). Why because: For successful implementation of inclusive education. Short-term special education courses of one or two months duration are required to be introduced for teachers in order for the inclusive education system to be successful and for the visually impaired boys and girls attending general school to receive quality education. With the introduction of the Short-term special education courses of one or two months duration as many teachers as possible working in the general school can be trained on special education of the blind. With the introduction of one-month or two-month short-term courses, more and more teachers will voluntarily come forward to do these courses. Moreover subjects like psychology, philosophy and school administration, content in general teacher training courses like D ed and B ed is also included in specialized training courses. Hence I strongly feel that there is no need to tot the same subjects again in the special education courses to the teachers who are already did the normal training course. Keeping in view of the above I humbly request the office-bearers of unions associations of the blind in this platform to write a letter to RCI with a request to introduce one month or two months short term course (regular and distance) for existing teachers working in government and privet schools on special education of the blind. For which act of kindness I shall be ever remain grateful to you sir. Thanking you in anticipation! Sir/ Madam, Yours faithfully
