Education is one of the most powerful tools for social inclusion. In cognisance of this, the Ghana Blind Union (GBU) embarked on a multi-pronged approach to ensure that blind learners have access to quality education. Hurdles being tackled include a decline in Braille reading, limited ICT access, limited equipment and inadequate teacher training. Nationally, GBU brought together a coalition of stakeholders and campaigns to facilitate the development and adoption of a policy on inclusive education. Focus has also been placed on the introduction of Mathematics and Science to learners in the senior secondary schools. Finally, GBU supports needy learners so that they are not denied the right to access education. Ghana has experiences and lessons to share.
