English test to be available in Braille

Visually impaired students will be able to take the national college English test in Braille this summer, the Ministry of Education said on Tuesday.

The announcement came after a female college student with impaired vision sued the ministry for failing to help her take the exam.

"Supported by the China Disabled Persons' Federation, the College English Test 4 will be available in Braille for the blind and visually impaired starting in June," the ministry's National Education Examinations Authority said in a statement. "It will address the needs of blind and visually impaired test takers."
