in that case, would the question paper too be available in braille? or, a reader would be made available to read it?
think about the size of a question paper in braille, also keep in mind the fact the examining body would require a trust worthy braille press to properly print and proof read, before sending them to the examining body, that too, with no chanses of paper leeking! if a reader is to be arranged, just to read the question paper, what type of qualificational terms should be laid down? and finally, who should be responsible to arrange a reader? regards, Keshav. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Harish Kotian" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Saturday, December 16, 2006 4:57 PM Subject: Re: [AI] Writer > Hi > Braille is only an enabling provision and is optional.
