| Ms Joanna Wardle, Ms Maria Elich and Mr Fredrick Scerri, three | visually impaired youths have successfully completed a computer training course covering the use of the DOS operating system, word processing and the use of a modem. The course organised by the ETC in co-operation with the Management Systems Unit, was spread over 40 hours. |
| Speaking at the presentation of certificates to the three young | trainees, Mr Michael Falzon, Minister of Education and Human Resources noted that through the use of speech synthesizers, computer technology was capable of bridging disabling conditions, opening new opportunities for skills development. |
| Besides other computer courses which are expected to be organised | in the future involving persons with disability, Minister Falzon noted that the Resource Centre supporting persons with disability intended to facilitate their use of I.T., will be boosted with the contribution of ETC to co-ordinate the services of this centre. These services will focus on advice, support and training. |
