Re: [AI] CBSE takes a big step towards inclusion, to make it easier for disabled students to take exams

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.

[AI] CBSE takes a big step towards inclusion, to make it easier for disabled students to take exams

[Ramya Venkitesh]

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.

Thanks & Regards
