[Introduction]

We are the only national school for the blind, and provide liberal education and vocational education to children from 5 to 18 year olds who have difficulties in their sight.
We have the kindergarten, the primary, the junior high, the senior high, and the vocational courses. The senior high course has the liberal and the music courses underneath it, and the vocational course two therapy courses and the music course.
The junior high and onward admit students from through out the country. Many of the students are either college minded or therapy instructors minded and they study seriously.
The students in the vocational division learn professional techniques of the respective courses. Once they start working, they play active parts equally well with the clear sighted persons.
