Two years after Braille's death, the Royal Institution for Blind Youth officially adopted braille as the primary system for reading and writing. This marked a significant turning point in the system's acceptance.

Braille began to spread to other countries, including the United States and England. Schools and institutions for the blind gradually adopted the system, making education more accessible to visually impaired people worldwide.

At the International Congress on Work for the Blind in Paris, braille was officially recognized as the international standard for tactile writing. This cemented its position as the universally accepted system for the blind.

On the 100th anniversary of his death, Louis Braille's remains were moved to the Panthéon in Paris, a mausoleum dedicated to prominent French figures. This was a symbolic recognition of his immense contribution to society.

Braille remains the fundamental system of reading and writing for blind and visually impaired people around the world. It has been adapted to numerous languages and continues to evolve with technological advancements, providing access to education, employment, and information for millions.
