As the Unit­ed Na­tion­al Con­gress-led Gov­ern­ment (UNC) pre­pares to dis­trib­ute lap­tops to stu­dents across the coun­try from Sep­tem­ber, ex­ec­u­tive of­fi­cer of the Blind Wel­fare As­so­ci­a­tion, Ken­neth Sur­ratt, is call­ing for ex­pand­ed ac­cess to dig­i­tal learn­ing tools in schools.

Suratt, an ad­vo­cate for peo­ple with dis­abil­i­ties and a long-time leader in the blind and vi­su­al­ly im­paired com­mu­ni­ty, said spe­cial pro­vi­sions should be made for stu­dents with vi­su­al im­pair­ments.
