The supplementary board examinations for Classes 12 and 10 began across Tamil Nadu on Monday with the language paper.

Following the cancellation of the SSLC examination, which was to have been held in March, owing to the COVID-19 pandemic, all Class 10 students who had registered themselves for the examination through schools were declared promoted by Chief Minister Edappadi K. Palaniswami.

They were given mark-sheets based on their half-yearly and quarterly examinations.

At a time when Tamil Nadu is singling out children with disabilities by forcing them to sit for board exams despite the pandemic, comes this positive step towards inclusive education thanks to the efforts of State Commissioner for Persons with Disabilities, Diethono Nakhro.

All schools in Nagaland, recognised and registered by the state government will henceforth provide inclusive education to children with disabilities.
