Great initiatives, especially including 'sign language as a separate subject and braille as an option in academics.' I however, fail to understand the rationale behind allowing students direct entry into 10th and 12th by skipping 9th and 11th, in case of medical emergency. Per my experience, as a CBSE student till 12th grade, the basics for 10th and 12th are taught in 9th and 11th. Best Turab
