KUCHING: When blind student Dayangku Aisah Awang Taha started Form Six two years ago, a new syllabus had just been introduced, and there were no Braille text available.

Had it not been for her sheer determination, there would have been no way Aisha could have scored three As and one B in her STPM examination – a result to be proud of for any student.
