In Africa, Asia and Latin America, only about every tenth child with vision impairment has access to education, mainly because of a lack of special facilities and trained teachers, as well as misconceptions and prejudices. CBM is committed to deliver equal educational opportunities for persons with visual impairment.
For this reason CBM sponsors:
Teaching aids for schools
- early detection and early intervention programmes
- special education
- inclusive education
- integrated education programmes
- vocational training centres
- public awareness programmes
Teaching aids for schools
To improve the quality of educational services for children with visual impairment, CBM sponsors the provision of special teaching materials and equipment. Moreover, CBM promotes specific pre-and in-service teacher-training courses in the instructional methods and curricula designed for the education and inclusion of persons with visual impairment.
