The Hindu
They are not declared passed as their govt.-aided schools have not been affiliated to the Board of Secondary Education
At a time when the COVID-19 pandemic has forced the Board of Secondary Education (BSE), Odisha to declare 5.6 lakh Class 10 students as having cleared their Board examination, 139 speech, hearing and visually challenged students could not make it to the list of successful candidates. Students did not appear for their examination but were declared passed on basis of their previous classroom tests. The fate of the physically challenged students was left hanging in balance after the BSE declined to take any decision since the schools in which they are studying were not affiliated to it. However, the nine special schools of which they are students receive grant-in-aid from the Social Security and Empowerment of Persons with Disabilities (SSEPD) Department of the State government.
