i had forgotten to write that 2 subject means science and maths. for english, most of the students i feel, are able to arrange scribes.
the actual serious problem is for the students and also their institutions is to arrange scribes for Hindi and Sanskrit language papers, at least in delhi. and by the way, what is the use of large print, just to help, about forty% of partially seing students only? what about the totally blind students? what happens and, sorry to say, but, when, a scribe is not even able to read, his or her own hand writing, when the blind student asks the scribe to read the entire paper, just for a re check? where does that student stand at the time? any way, regards, Keshav. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Keshav Kumar" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Tuesday, October 03, 2006 7:51 PM Subject: Re: [AI] CBSE buffer for differently-abled > sorry, but, let me make it clear to every one that the same CBSE is, not > at > all ready to allow the students of the blind relief association to go for > these 2 subjects. > > our prinsipal is struggling for the same cince July 2005. > i however, now feel that this new development may pave way for the above. > > regards, > Keshav. > > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Subramani L" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > To: <[email protected]> > Sent: Tuesday, October 03, 2006 10:01 AM > Subject: Re: [AI] CBSE buffer for differently-abled > > >> Fantastic news.
