Students with learning disability should get exam writers: Court
The Bombay High Court on Monday asked the National Institute of Open Schooling (NIOS) to allow exam writers to all students with learning disabilities. The NIOS had earlier turned down requests for writers for hundreds of such students for their upcoming Std X and XII exams.Last week, the High Court took up a PIL suo moto after receiving a letter from psychologists Dr Harish Shetty and Dr Sanghnaik Meshram who highlighted the issue.
According to NIOS, students who requested for writers did not have certificates from the government-authorised learning disability centres.But the court learnt that very few centres in the state provide the certificate. A division bench headed by Chief Justice Mohit Shah directed the state to set up at least one centre in each district.
