GCOPD, in collaboration with the Office of the Prime Minister (OPM), and organized by the Ministry of Human Services and Social Security, launched a computer literacy training program to allow persons who are blind or visually impaired to be able to independently navigate digital society. The workshop aimed to equip persons with visual impairments with Computer Literacy skills. During the session, the participants were taught basic concepts of computer technology and how to use various computer software. They also had the opportunity to practice these skills in a practical session. Training began in early July within regions 3 and 4 and was done using a software called Job Access with Speech (JAWS) Screen Reader, which identifies and interprets content displayed on the computer with a text-to-speech output.
