UTLOOK
There is still a great demand in educational possibilities for persons who are blind or visually impaired at all levels of
secondary education. Therefore, the leaders of the project aim to provide classes to grades seven, eight and nine,
beginning in September 2016. The project also wants to provide extra and supporting lessons for blind students at the
primary level. This shall enable students to have a better basis when they reach the CSEC level.
