Show leniency to visually impaired students, allow oral exams

Fri, 05/30/2014 - 10:37 -- nikita.jain

Given the stress and anxiety associated with board exams, psychologists and psychiatrists believe there should be some leniency in the way the papers of visually impaired students are corrected. Such students are at a disadvantage because they have to deal with writers who appear on their behalf. Most of the times, the writers are younger than them and in case of papers like maths, it becomes even more difficult to interact with them as it involves calculations. Therefore, there is a growing demand to grant concession to visually impaired students and allow them to take oral exams.

What university is like when your eyes don't work well

Thu, 05/29/2014 - 11:19 -- nikita.jain

I have been in and out of hospitals more times than I can remember, having eye tests and trying to find ways to improve my ability to see. It was not that I am blind, but rather I can't see as much detail and as far as other people. But my eye problems never stopped my parents believing I could be independent. In the classroom, I had to sit near the board and use magnifying tools supplied by the National Council for the Blind of Ireland (NCBI). Around the age of 10, I started learning touch-typing and braille.
