All the District Educational Officers and all the HMs/ Heads of High Schools of all the managements in the State are hereby informed that, the Government of Andhra Pradesh had provided certain exemptions & concessions to the Children with Special Needs (CwSN) in the SSC Public Examinations vide Ref. 1st and 2nd cited as per the provisions of the RPwD Act, 2016, NEP 2020 and the provisions extended by the CBSE to ensure uniformity in the CwSN provisions in all the High Schools of the State.

 

Further, several representations have been received regarding clarifications on the ‘Provisions to avail the services of Scribe' in the SSC Public Examinations. It was brought to the notice of the undersigned that certain categories of CwSN could not avail the services of the scribe.

 

In this regard, it is hereby informed that, the CwSN who could not write the examinations by themselves have a right to avail of the Services of the Scribe. The Scribe plays an important role in the examination of CwSN by writing the dictated answers of the CwSN. However, the primary principle that “The Use of Scribe should neither advantage nor disadvantage the student” has to be upheld. The provision to avail Scribe by CwSN is to provide a level playing field and ensure equity by assisting the student to overcome their natural disadvantages. This implicitly needs clear guidelines to eliminate the misuse and to ensure justice for the needy.

 

Further, the exemptions and concessions provided in the SSC Public Examinations are broadly based on the CBSE's provisions mentioned in the Circular Ref. 3rd This is to ensure uniformity in CwSN provisions across all the High Schools of the state irrespective of their affiliation.
