Nepal Association of the Blind (NAB) organized a one-day workshop on inclusive education in Kathmandu on November 14, 2024. The event aimed to raise awareness about the challenges faced by students with visual impairments and explore solutions to make education more accessible. It was attended by over 50 participants, including teachers, school administrators, policymakers, and disability advocates.

The sessions focused on topics such as integrating Braille into mainstream curricula, using assistive technologies in classrooms, and training educators to be more inclusive. Panel discussions also highlighted the need for collaboration between government agencies and non-governmental organizations to address policy gaps.

A participant from the education sector noted, “Workshops like this help us better understand the needs of students with disabilities and inspire us to make positive changes in our teaching practices.”

NAB expressed its continued commitment to improving educational opportunities for visually impaired students and announced plans to conduct similar workshops in other provinces in the coming months.
