Bhubaneswar: The Odisha Human Rights Commission has issued notice to SSEPD department and Board of Secondary Education, Cuttack asking them to reply as to why the High School Certificate results of 139 students of special schools have been withheld.
Hearing a petition filed by one Manoj Jena, NHRC core committee member, New Delhi, the OHRC has sought reports from SSEPD department and BSE by July 22.
In his petition, Jena mentioned that the results of 139 different-abled students have been withheld due to administrative lapses of the department concerned.
Though BSE declared the matric results of around 5.6 lakh students through alternative assessment due to the pandemic, it didn’t do so for the divyang students in nine special schools.
On its part, the BSE maintained that the special schools were not affiliated to it and hence their results were not declared.
On the other hand, the eight special schools receive grant-in-aid from the Odisha government’s Social Security and Empowerment of Persons with Disabilities (SSEPD) Department.
While the schools are run by NGOs, grant-in-aid is provided by the SSEPD Department and the students have been appearing for the matric exams through correspondence course for over a decade.
