Very true,
In fact, when I was trying to pursue IT (Computing) in my 11th standard,
then school management directly told me that "you should take any other
subject as we don't have enough resources to teach computing and
programming".
And yes, that was a very huge organization and they had plenty of funds
to arrange good teachers and resources.
Students were kept limited only to "MS word and MS Excel" there.

implementation of appropreate technology such as screen readers,
speech to text convertors and Braille is the only sollution to stop
malpractice in exam. Every child should be taught subjects like Maths
and reasoning in special school. There are many special schools where
important subjects like Maths and science is excluded from syllabus
instead students from these schools are ask to take music as a subject
in board exam. I'm not against learning Music but if we want to
progress in life then It is essential to learn subjects like Maths and
Science till class 10th. Initial struggle will bring permanent success
later in life.

Dear All
Indian companies getting exam contracts from the government are very rich
and are capable of implementing any technology. Accessibility engineers and
facilitators training are very small things, they can do it easily.
Additionally the government should be forced to start using voice to text
services for VI candidtes. All suggestions should be put to appropriate
form.
Those students who can use braille should have the option of audio
recording and for objective exams could be made more accessible to remove
the dependency on scribes.
I hope this news item starts system churning and good solutions come out.
regards
Nirmal

I was having a discussion with Ajay Minocha over a call about the screen
reader system.
The point he highlighted was that we have multiple screen readers, and
their respective settings. It may happen that our preferred screen reader
is not there, the settings cannot be changed, or any last minute
technical
glitch with the system, inaccessible platform, among others.
While it sounds like the best solution on using one's own system, it
might
not be as easy as using screen readers on a totally alien system in an
exam
centre. A technical issue, few mins wasted, and the candidate will be
having a whole mental toll.
PS - I am not discouraging or against the use of screen readers for
exams,
but bringing a point which is often not discussed. And the screen reader
grass might not be always green.
