 The provision of reading support for students with print disabilities project in St. Lucia advanced with a Bookshare and Braille technology training for select students and teachers from special needs schools on the island. The participants learned how to navigate Bookshare, the world's largest digital accessible libraries of e-books for individuals with visual impairment, severe dyslexia, cerebral palsy and other reading barriers as well as training on the use of the Braille 1 device which enables the visually impaired to interact with a computer independently. This project allows for equitability in education. It brings access to learning to students who have conditions that would serve as a barrier to that learning and it helps them beyond that barrier and gives them access to print material that their print disabilities would have otherwise caused limits to their accessing. That was Dale Sanjee's the special education officer in the Department of Education speaking at the training's opening ceremony. The overall project is a collaborative undertaking between the Departments of Education and Sustainable Development and is funded by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization UNESCO through its participation fund in the sum of US $20,000. Secretary General of the St. Lucia National Commission for UNESCO is Marcia Simforian. Among marginalized and vulnerable groups, UNESCO pays special attention to children with disabilities who globally are over-represented in the population of those who do not have access to education. This project will contribute greatly to increasing access to educational materials by the students of the Lady Gordon Opportunity Center and other institutions involved in the project. In so doing, it lends its support to the objective of education for all and ensuring that no child is left behind. The training was held at the Lady Gordon Opportunity Center and facilitated by Bookshare Developer Personnel virtually. We just want to thank you all so much for the opportunity to work with you on this project. The speakers from Sustainable Development, Education and UNESCO have really said it all. Ben Teck has been devoted for 20 years through our Bookshare initiative to serving the needs of students and adults with print disabilities around the world. And we are thrilled that Bookshare will be a part of the St. Lucia Education initiatives. St. Lucia joins over 94 countries and territories that are making use of Bookshare technology. Acting Chief Education Officer Cyrus Seepal commends the project for fostering greater independence for learners with reading barriers. So we have to be prepared to get outside of the box and be creative in meeting those needs. So that's why I'm so excited, Sir Dylan Madden Principal and Mrs. Florian, about this program and I'm excited about it because it is an online program also and why I'm excited about it. We are also promoting that we don't want the device simply to be, for example the children are at home, they put on the device and they are just simply following the teacher, teaching them the same way the teacher would have taught if they were at school, chalk and talk. We want programs to be embedded in the device so by the time the teacher will say okay and you will not see me for the next 30 minutes the child now will be able to access the programs that are available to continue the process of learning. The Bookshare and Braille Technology training was held on 11th and 12th October 2021. For the Department of Sustainable Development, I am Jesse Leance reporting.
