Mortadha Jamaleddin, head of the center, said both men and women took part in the online Quranic course, which lasted for four months.
He added that a ceremony was held at the end of the Quranic program to honor the successful participants.
According to Mustafa al-Ameri, the instructor of the course, it was a good opportunity for training visually-impaired Quran teachers.

There has been a growing trend of Quranic programs such as competitions, recitation sessions and educational programs held in the country in recent years.
