Since the 2017 introduction of Kenya’s Competency-Based Curriculum (CBC) in primary schools, teachers have explored new ways to help their pupils improve their academic skills based on their abilities.

At St. Oda School for the Blind in Siaya County, the inABLE computer lab, which is fully equipped with resources and assistive technology, has been the research center for teachers and learners with visual impairment.

Morris Onyango, a grade five teacher, is fully embracing the CBC curriculum and incorporating assistive technology to maximize his students’ full potential. “Since the pandemic, the school calendar has been very tight, leaving no time to waste. We are, therefore, grateful to inABLE for providing us with the needed and timely resources that enable us to meet the required minimum.”
