Governments across the world are moving towards inclusive education. In Africa however, they rarely accompany ICT policies with adequate resourcing, teacher training or policy changes. One case is the Uganda Government’s initiative to introduce ICT as a compulsory subject for students taking arts subjects at the senior secondary level. Unfortunately, this new ICT initiative has not included blind students in the policy. Provision of Computer Training to blind students will help in providing alternative methods of learning, increase their competitiveness in the job market, increase their access to information, and, reduce dependence and isolation of the blind from the rest of the community.
