Residential School

An educational institution where students live on campus during the school term, receiving both education and residential care. In India, many schools for the blind operate as residential schools, with students living at the school away from their families. Residential schools for the blind serve an important function in providing specialized education, peer support, and a community of shared experience, but they also face challenges including underfunding, staffing shortages, isolation from mainstream education, and limited access to technology and modern teaching resources. Teachers in residential schools often take on pastoral care responsibilities alongside academic instruction.
