Abstract
Localized educational technology for vision-impaired children in Dar es Salaam slums is an underexplored area within the field of law and policy analysis. This study employs a qualitative approach to review relevant laws, regulations, and international best practices related to educational inclusivity, supplemented by case studies from similar contexts around the world. Findings indicate that while there are legal frameworks supporting education for all children, practical implementation in slum areas is often lacking due to resource constraints and technological inadequacy. Localized technological solutions can significantly improve educational outcomes for visually impaired children by addressing both accessibility and cost-efficiency issues. Recommendations include the development of a national policy on accessible educational technology, provision of financial incentives for schools adopting these technologies, and fostering collaboration between tech developers and education authorities.
