- Abstract
The text highlights the problems of teaching and practicing reading and writing to visually impaired students who are educated in mainstream primary and secondary school classes. As a rule, teachers in mainstream schools do not know Braille and, more importantly, do not know how to teach specific subjects through Braille. They do not know the methodological specifics and the organisation of the content of the curriculum that working through the tactile code necessarily requires. Therefore, transferring the work of the teacher to the teaching assistant does not help. The simplistic and dysfunctional solution to school practice is to replace Braille as quickly and completely as possible with voice output. For the visually impaired, this means reducing reading to mere listening and making it difficult or impossible to access spelling and written language, mathematics, physics, chemistry, computer science or music. The consequence is illiteracy as a serious handicap and limitation of the visually impaired pupils in their studies, employment and occupation. The proposed solution to this deficit is to modify legislation and curricula so that Braille cannot be bypassed or replaced for visually impaired pupils. The key is the combined disciplinary and special education training of teachers and the promotion of cooperation with the organisations of the sight impaired in the preparation and implementation of the education of pupils and their teachers.
