Dear friends, this is very interesting discussion on th method of
answering in CBSE board. initially, I support this move, but in long
run it would harm rather than helping people with blindness. as many
persons have discussed that if somebody is speaking slow, some on
having different kind of pronunciation and so on and s forth. even,
this move revolutiohnized people with blindness to be good speaker
rather than be good writer. good speaker is not bad thing, but in long
run it will destroy our capacity to write. for in my case, I can
dictate better rather than writing. similarly in cighted people they
can writer better rather than dictating. therefore, we the people
with blind should support to develop the writing tendency. secondly,
the writing devices like laptop, tab and eetc are easily available
to most of the students. if it is not available than out educational
institutes should work for the availability of devices, because it
will not take only exam but it will empower them for ever. thirdly,
the self writing facilitate us to express our actual wil rather than
dicating thing. some thing, we are so afraid about the writer thing
or what he will think. fourthly, the idea of recording may be
radical move in the view of CBSE, but it will change mode of
evaluation. some blind students would get marks, because of ghis or
her voice but some would get low marks, because eof his her voice.
fifthly, because of dictation and recording the spelling study would
become too weak. even, some time, people with blindness are not able
to differentiate between week and weak, because of they are prone ot
speak than writing. if they provide braille writing instrument, that
is qualify for welcome, because it gives ground level reality and
maximum use of capacity. here writing speed does matter but braille as
mode of exam must available along with other any method. thanks

Times of India:
Blind students can 'record' board exam answers on tape recorder

NAGPUR: Don't be surprised if during this summer's state board exam a
candidate asks the invigilator for additional 'cassette' instead of
additional supplement.
Students suffering from visual impairment (partial/full) can now record
their answers on tape recorder rather than taking help of a writer. This
new
rule
is part of a slew of revolutionary changes brought in for special needs
students by state school education minister Vinod Tawde.
Speaking to TOI, Tawde said, "Visually impaired students can get the
questions read to them 20 minutes before the paper starts so that they
can
get a feel
of things. Their answers will be recorded and the device will be sent for
evaluation in the same way we send the traditional answer sheets." For
all
special
needs students the minister has offered other exam concessions, like 20
minutes extra time per exam hour, liberal evaluation, grace marks,
facility
of
talking calculator, on-screen reading software (if available) etc.
Students
suffering from cerebral palsy, autism, impairment of speech and hearing,
physical
disability, spastics, learning disorder etc are some who have been given
these examination concessions. Parents who have children with special
needs
have
been advised to get in touch with their schools and local board office
for
details.
