SSC, HSC spl needs students can get scribes, choose centres vinamrata.borwan...@timesgroup.com <mailto:vinamrata.borwan...@timesgroup.com> Mumbai: As part of its efforts to safely conduct HSC and SSC examinations offline, the state education department has decided on various provisions for students with special needs and will set up a dedicated helpline for the purpose as well. In a series of tweets, school education minister Varsha Gaikwad said, “Continuing our consultations about #ParikshaKoTaiyar, today we reviewed concessions for differently abled children of Class X and XII. Student representatives made various useful suggestions during the online meeting and we are receptive to all of them.” Following the online discussion with stakeholders, Gaikwad announced all students with special needs will be permitted to use scribes as necessary, they will have the option of choosing a centre and seeking special facilities based on the nature of their requirements. A dedicated helpline will be set up for the purpose. The education department has now also shared a link, https://www.research.net/r/readerwriterbank, for those interested in volunteering as writers for students with special needs. Earlier last month, the department had promised to set up a bank of writers for students with special needs after concerns that the pandemic could lead to a shortage.
