Abstract
This study investigates the status and challenges of vocational education and training systems for visually impaired students in West Bengal. Employing a descriptive research method, data were collected using a checklist. The sample comprised four secondary special schools for the visually impaired, including four principals, 50 students who completed vocational training. Findings revealed that vocational education faces significant challenges, including insufficient infrastructure, outdated resources, and financial limitations. Additionally, the lack of specialized teacher training, societal misconceptions, and cultural barriers hinder the effectiveness of these programs. Students' aspirations are constrained by limited career awareness, social isolation, and inadequate community support, further exacerbated by the absence of role models and systematic feedback mechanisms for program improvement. Addressing these issues requires policy reforms, increased funding, community engagement, and inclusive practices to enhance the independence, employability, and holistic development of visually impaired students in vocational domains.
