Visually impaired students want more career choices

Despite education reform, which has given more people the opportunity to take the gaokao, the college admission exam, more must be done to ensure educational equality, experts said.

Last year, the Ministry of Education stipulated that visually impaired people must be given access to Braille or electronic exam papers, as well as support staff, so that they can take the gaokao.

Although eight provinces reported that visually impaired candidates took the gaokao this year, none released exact numbers. Last year, only three visually impaired people took the exam.
