ABSTRACT
The major objective of this study was to find out the challenges facing
the transitional vocational placement and training of visually impaired
students at Akropong School for the Blind in the Akuapem – North District of
the Eastern Region. Descriptive research design was used for the study. One
hundred and fifteen (115) students were selected using simple random
sampling technique. All the forty- five (45) teachers of the school were
purposively chosen and twenty (20) parents were accidently selected.
The views of teacher respondents were sampled through the use of
questionnaire while those for parents were obtained through interview. Views
of students were sampled by the use of questionnaire and interview.
Observation of equipment and or materials, activities performed by students,
and classroom environment were also made by the researcher.
The major findings which adversely affect transitional vocational
placement and training at Akropong School for the Blind were lack of
teaching and learning materials, and lack of assessment of students for
multiple handicapped conditions. Again, it was found out that, some teachers
and some students look mean on students given vocational placement and also
students were not giving on the job vocational training in the school.
Based on the findings, it was recommended that, teachers should liaise
with parents to help provide teaching and learning materials to promote
teaching and learning of vocational courses in at Akropong School for the
Blind.
