School for the Blind

A specialized educational institution that serves students with vision impairments, often as a residential facility where students live on campus. In India and other Global South countries, schools for the blind are frequently underfunded, teacher-constrained, and reliant on philanthropic or NGO support. They employ a mix of sighted and blind/low-vision teachers, with TVIs often managing multi-grade classrooms teaching multiple subjects. These schools face persistent challenges including delayed Braille textbook delivery, lack of assistive technology, limited internet connectivity, and institutional norms that restrict technology integration.
