According to TRN Online, an artificial intelligence learning system called "Blind Classroom" is improving the educational experience for visually impaired students at Chilanga School for the Blind in Kasungu District. Developed by Malawian innovator Staff Nyoni, the system converts written lessons into interactive audio content. This allows students to navigate coursework using voice commands and a simplified three-button interface instead of relying solely on Braille or constant teacher assistance.
Save the Children Malawi is supporting the project financially. Innovation Manager Bright Chidzumeni noted that the organisation is currently expanding the technology to 14 schools for the blind across the country.
In higher education, the Malawi University of Business and Applied Sciences (MUBAS) officially welcomed a new cohort for its Executive Management and Leadership course, according to an update from the university's news portal. Organised through the Management Development Centre, the online orientation session took place on March 21. The training programme is designed to equip current and future managers with modern business and leadership skills.
