Science Education for the Visually Impaired

For visually impaired students (VIS), exposure to STEM subjects is fairly limited from the school-level itself. For teachers as well, science education for VIS can be challenging. Hence an awareness camp to promote higher education in science for visually impaired students was organized recently at the Banaras Hindu University (BHU), Varanasi. This was the result of an active partnership among diverse communities of scientists and science educators to ensure equal opportunity to science education aiming to contribute to human dignity and social justice.
