Disability Awareness and Development Initiative (DADI) is providing a CBT Basic Education Certificate Examination (BECE) practice testing platform for blind students.
The program is imperative because the “Success Box” application introduced by the Lagos State government is difficult to use for blind learners.
In a presss release signed by Emmanuella Akinola Director, Programs, DADI, she informed that the platform created by AccessTech is completely accessible via screen readers on IOS, Android and window based systems.
According to The Executive Director of DADI, Mr. Opeolu Akinola; “blind students need to have equal access to study materials, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic when there is limited help from sighted colleagues. This is why we are providing texts in accessible digital formats in our state-of-the-art book transcription facility. Currently we also service blind students at the University of Lagos.
Throwing more light on the CBT testing platform, Emmanuella Akinola, AccessTech Program Director, the test covers past questions from 2017 to 2019 BECE exams. Test can be taken as many times as the student wishes. Access to the platform will be granted after registration via this link (https://forms.gle/Nr9xnzmT1y3LmR4g8)
