Kazakhstan has not created proper conditions for the full education of children with visual impairments, deputy Amangeldy Yesbay said, Orda.kz reports.
According to him, despite continued discussion of inclusive education, the system has still not been properly adapted.
One of the most acute problems remains the shortage of large-print textbooks. No more than half of the required materials are available, including all textbooks for preparatory classes and a significant share for other grades. he said.
The deputy stressed that because of this, visually impaired children become tired more quickly, absorb information less effectively and face difficulties in their studies. He also cited the example of a school in Astana where the equipment is outdated and has not been renewed, limiting both learning opportunities and the preservation of students’ eyesight.
Large-print textbooks and materials have not been fully developed, and special notebooks and manuals are not provided systematically. In most cases, ordinary materials are used, which place extra strain on children’s vision. Yesbay added.
The deputy proposed developing large-print textbooks for all grades, supplying schools with special learning materials and updating equipment.
