"Blindness should not be a barrier.”
VISION
To ensure that each blind student, through proper education is brought out of darkness into the light, becoming an effective resource and a skilled individual, having the best opportunities available for people with visual impairment so that they have the greatest prospects to experience active and fulfilling lives.
For a society where blindness or partial sight is not a barrier to the fulfillment of personal aspirations: people in society can see the ability not the disability. |
MISSION
To provide a sound education to visually impaired girls, and help them discover all other areas of their faculties for their well-being and development and realise their God given potentials and talents, to lead a life of independence with dignity in their families and society.
To provide education and training services to girls who are blind or partially sighted and to enable the girls to overcome any discrimination, social exclusion and poverty they experience. |
A MESSAGE FROM THE PRINCIPAL
Gloria Chandrani Baroi
It is a great honour and responsibility to be the principal for the Baptist Mission Integrated School (BMIS). BMIS has been working hard to educate visually impaired girls in the Mirpur area of Dhaka since 1977, constantly striving to improve the level of services offered. BMIS has been a light of hope for the families of visually impaired girls in Bangladesh, playing an important role in society by providing quality education for the girls, giving them a confidence and an ability to enjoy life to a level that they would otherwise not achieve. BMIS impacts Bangladesh nationwide as a specialist school able to assist public schools to successfully integrate students with visual impairments into mainstream schools.
The ability to produce braille books and teaching materials at the school, when suitable materials are generally unavailable, has meant that the school has led the way in improving studies for blind children with materials free of cost to them.
BMIS runs with the goal of integration for the visually impaired children into mainstream education. The school now has provision for sighted boys and girls from pre-school through to year 5 with full integration of the visually impaired girls from year 4 and they can stay up to year 7.
To enable visually impaired girls from all over the country to attend, BMIS offers special hostel facilities located in the BMIS compound. The hostel can accommodate up to one hundred girls and is fully managed by highly experienced and caring staff.
The intent going forward is to ensure that the facilities are optimally used. The accommodation is a priority and investment in technology needs to be supported with appropriate training and counselling of teachers and staff.
Sincerely,
Gloria Chadrani Baroi
