Letter to the Editor
Education for all
It is welcome to note that the Kerala Infrastructure and Technology for Education (KITE) has launched audio books for all students, with a special focus on visually challenged children.
The KITE has also released audio books and sign language adapted classes of revision portions highlighting the focus areas for classes X and XII for the annual examination, as part of its ‘First Bell’ Digital Classes aired through the KITE VICTERS educational channel.
The revision classes in audio books shall be heard in an enjoyable way like listening to a radio program and are easily downloadable and shareable in mp3 format and this is the first such module in the country in the general education sector.
This is a praiseworthy move to ensure inclusive education for children with special needs on digital platforms. The National Education Policy 2020 also emphasizes providing an appropriate educational environment and facilities for all.
