In the past, while students were allowed to choose whether they wanted to study at a school for the blind or a regular school during their primary and middle school years, they had to attend a high school for the blind. This was because regular high schools would not accept completely blind students.
過去，盲生在小學、國中階段可以選擇念啟明學校，也可以選擇在一般學校「走讀」，但到了高中，只能回啟明學校，因為過去一般高中不收全盲視障生。
