Subject: RE: special educator case
Relief for Hundreds of Visually Impaired Special Educators Looking for
Employment: Important CCPD Judgment in a Case Filed by AICB
Dear Colleagues,
It is a well-known fact that the blind and the low vision children
studying in inclusive schools are in most need of support from Special
Educators trained to teach them. The irony is that though hundreds of
visually impaired persons hold diplomas/degrees in special education and
are competent to work as Special Educators, they are often denied
employment because as per the 2007 identification list of MSJE, the post
of Special Educator is not identified for this disability category.
As AICB had received a number of complaints from the blind and the low
vision persons in this respect, we filed a case in the Court of the CCPD
contending that as per a notification of May 2001, a post with a different
nomenclature but having similar functions to an identified post, is also
considered to have been identified. Therefore, we argued that the post of
the Special Educator, in effect, is identified for the visually impaired
and, reservation and employment cannot be denied to them.
During the case hearing on Monday, 17th June, 2013, our Vice President,
Dr. Anil Aneja, while strongly arguing this case in favour of the blind
and the low vision, put forward many weighty grounds. In addition to the
above contentions and among various arguments, he contended that the RCI
is the statutory body to govern professional standards in the field of
disability and the RCI conducts only disability specific courses in
Special Education. The visually impaired, like other persons are
registered as “Special Teachers to Teach the Handicapped” in category 5 of
the CompositeRehabilitation Register of RCI. This is the only category of
CRR in which the special educators are registered, and thus, certified and
registered as qualified to be Special Educators, the visually impaired
cannot be denied their right of employment and reservation on the post of
Special Educator. Further, Dr. Aneja stated that there is no course in
Special Education which is designed for educating a person to teach
students belonging to all disability categories. Therefore, the assumption
that a Special Educator can teach students with various disabilities, is
erroneous, illegal and therefore wrong.
Upholding our contentions, the Chief Commissioner for Persons With
Disabilities, Mr. P.K. Pincha passed a landmark order soon after the
hearing in the Court itself. He held that as per the Principles enshrined
in the said 2001 notification, the post of Special Educator is deemed to
be identified for the visually impaired, and therefore, he directed the
Department of Education, Government of National Capital Territory of
Delhi, to consider identifying this post for the visually impaired within
a period of two months and report the action taken to the Office of the
CCPD. Mr. Pincha further directed that even if a vacancy is not reserved
for the visually impaired, they cannot be denied their right to compete in
the open selection, a practice which was hitherto being followed by the
Delhi Government and was a barrier for scores of blind and low vision
persons.
While we express our indebtedness to the CCPD, we are sure that the entire
visual impairment sector would join us in welcoming this judgment which
will benefit hundreds of visually impaired persons and also the blind and
low vision children studying in inclusive schools.
With Kind Regards
