Blind school students appreciate new Braille System
That is the sound of the close to sixty one students at the Fiji School of the blind showing their appreciation to the newly acquired Braille System.
These visually impaired students now have the chance to be able to get text books that normal are using at school.
School President, Dhirendra Singh said in the past, since Fiji did not have a Braile system inplace, the students faced difficulties as translation took long and they would rely on other students and their teachers to read the books out to them but now they will be able to read through their special books.
Singh said now, with the $47,000 worth of equipment the students would be as fast as any other students.
The new system was officially launched on Friday by education Minister Filipe Bole who said that this was now a challenge for the visually impaired students to prove that they were as good as any other student.
The Braille system is a method that is widely used by blind people to read and write
