How assistive technology can positively impact the personal wellbeing of learners whilst improving literacy around the world: Nisai Group at UNESCO Global Inclusive Forum (15 March 2024)

March 13th 2024 Paris

In a significant stride towards fostering global inclusivity in education, David Lester, Group Learning Services Director of Nisai Group is gearing up to participate in the upcoming UNESCO Global Inclusive Forum on March 15, 2024. David is participating in the Panel discussion and answering questions revolving around the crucial topic of “Ensuring access to assistive technologies and inclusive ICTs.”

Amidst rising concerns over global literacy rates, Nisai Group aims to shed light on the pivotal role of assistive technology in enhancing literacy worldwide. Recent findings from the UK’s SAT literacy results for 2023 reveal that approximately 30% of students failed to meet the expected benchmarks in reading, writing, grammar, punctuation, and spelling. Given the stagnant progress in reading attainment levels compared to pre-Covid times, urgent measures are imperative to address this issue.
