Chris Budeli, the manager of education, social inclusion and development at the SANCB, said, “For blind people, computer technology is a means to communicate with the sighted world. The good thing is that this will allow learners to write their assignments and exams, even at a tertiary level.”
During the 2019 back-to-school week, members from correctional services (parolees, inmates and officers) also cut grass, painted the school’s hall and made a garden.
