Traditionally, blind or visually impaired students have always had to rely on scribes, someone who would read and write for them, to take exams. Students, often faced difficulty using scribes. The scribes were not trained and qualified. They would interpret and enter answers incorrectly, leaving the visually impaired students frustrated.
Vision-Aid’s Spring semester of programming classes is currently underway. There are 15 students enrolled from all over India, and an equal number of volunteer mentors experienced in teaching programming from both the US and India, in the 10-week long training.
This is the fourth such batch. The classes are progressing wonderfully.
Thanks to our amazing supporters, partners and well-wishers, the past year has been a fantastic year at Vision-Aid. New locations, additional programs and several innovations came together to create a very rewarding year for the Vision-Aid team, benefiting the many visually impaired people we are serving.
