Blind students in Tamil Nadu who are appearing for the 10th and 12th board examinations in March this year require qualified scribes to help them perform well, an NGO has said.
Nethrodaya, a non-profit working for the welfare of blind people, has appealed to the Tamil Nadu Department of School Education and Director of School Examinations to implement the new guidelines for appointing scribes as directed by the Madras high court. A statement from Nethrodaya said that as of now school clerks, physical education teachers and drawing teachers are appointed as scribes as they wish to "avail the income of Rs 300 for being a scribe."
Many visually challenged students who appeared for the board examinations in the past "have felt that these scribes were unable write the contents verbatim as dictated by the students and committed grammar and spelling mistakes as they lack basic knowledge in the concerned subjects," the release said.
