The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) is being a torchbearer for inclusion.
In a remarkable move, this education board is gearing up to provide certain exemptions to disabled students during their board exams. Recently, the Punjab and Haryana High Courts asked the CBSE to prepare a list of policies that would disabled students and ease the problems faced by them. Meanwhile, the CBSE has assured the High Court that a final draft will be submitted in its upcoming winter session. This will be approved by the curriculum committee before being submitted to the governing body for a final go ahead. CBSE had already submitted a draft to the High Court pointing out that they want teaching, learning and examinations to be made accessible for disabled students. But due to lack of resources, these have become a distant dream for both the education board and students. This new draft will benefit students with various types of disabilities including those who are blind, deaf, and with learning and mental disabilities. Students who come under the category of autism spectrum disorder will also be part of this new draft. For details check out the story on Newz Hook <https://newzhook.com/story/19877> .
