Thiruvananthapuram: State general education department has  started G-Suite online platform training for visually- challenged teachers in government and aided schools in the  state. As many as 456 teachers across the state are about  to benefit from the training programme organised by KITE.
KITE has already deployed free software-based screen reader applications like Orca in the school computers so that teachers with visual impairment would be able to overcome their limitations with the help of technology.

Apart  from this, special ICT training is provided to all  visually-impaired teachers on a regular basis.
G-Suite  has been used by the general education department as a   preferred platform for conducting online classes.
As part of this, teachers and more than 10 lakh students  from class 8 to 10 have been given login IDs. Training  sessions for higher secondary teachers are also about to  begin this week, said KITE authorities on Monday.
General education minister V Sivankutty who visited a  training session at the school for visually challenged at  Vazhuthacaud here has agreed to the demand that visually-
impaired teachers should be granted more time to complete  the training programme.
