ICT Accessibility in Education for Persons with Disabilities (PwDs) is the first national program to utilize ICT to ease access to and enhance the quality of education for PWDs. The program started with the formulation of the country’s Policy for ICT accessibility in Education. In order to put this policy into action, main pillars of the work were identified: technological accessibility of schools; teachers’ training; development of Assistive Technologies (AT) for education; and promotion of access to leaning materials. The program served 765 schools, 5500 teachers and supported the development of 12 AT. The program is implemented in cooperation with several stakeholders.
