Enhancing Cognition of Students with Visual Impairments via Human Computer Interface Blueprint for SDG 4

The urgent need for sustainable development led to the adoption of the 17 sustainable development goals (SDGs) by United Nations Member States in 2015, aiming to achieve them by 2030. However, ensuring quality education, especially for vulnerable groups like persons with disabilities, remains challenging. Goal 4, focused on inclusive and equitable education for all, lacks attention. The current paper explores the use of computer assistive technology (CAT) to enhance the cognition of visually impaired students (SWVI) in vocational training colleges, providing a blueprint for sustainable developing countries by emphasising inclusive higher education (HE), access, and inclusivity challenges. While the findings highlight the importance of meeting the needs of marginalised groups for a more equitable and sustainable future, the recommendations include prioritising inclusive education policies, investing in training, support services, and ensuring equal access to quality higher education for visually impaired students to foster sustainable development and achieve SDG 4.
