Special kids make history in matric exams
MIRPUR (AJK)
The special children, appearing in the annual Secondary School Certificate Examinations 2015 in AJK, have made history as all the hearing impaired students qualified the examinations.
“This could be described as a new record of the 100 percent qualification of the examination by male and female special children held by the AJK BISE,” said Secretary AJK BISE Prof Mirza Shahid Munir Jiraal.
Hearing impaired Mumtaz Azam clinched first position in his school securing 901 out of 1,100 marks. Similarly other special children of the same institution including Imran Khan, Hamza Mushtaq and Ahmed Subhani also passed the examination with distinction in their school securing 895,, 864 and 814 marks respectively.
The hearing impaired students had appeared in the annual Secondary School Certificate Examinations 2015 besides thousands of normal candidates. They all qualified the examinations with distinction by establishing a new precedence for the educational institutions of normal children running in private and particularly for those functioning in the public sectors.
“The Kashmir Institute of Special Education Mirpur is imparting free education to the handicapped children including hearing impaired under the spirit to make them useful citizens so that they could serve the nation,” said Dr Amjad Insari, director of KISE.
“By giving 100 percent positive results of the exam, all the successful special children have proved that any type of physical retardation was no matter for if one is determined to reach the destination,” Dr Insari quoted topper Mumtaz Azam as saying.
The students have opened new vistas of special education in Azad Jammu & Kashmir by giving 100 percent results in the matriculation examination.
“I want to serve the nation and the country being a doctor in the future and I would continue the studies till the achievement of the goal,” said special student Mumtaz Azam in an interview with this scribe through sign language.
The students belong to the far-flung areas of Mirpur division. “We have established the sense of competition among the special students by getting the sense of deprivation and inferiority complex removed through the healthy mental grooming and the qualified academicians,” Dr Insari said. “It is aimed to make the special children useful citizens and quality architects of the nation so that they could also serve it at par with the normal persons in the future,” he stated.
There is no any educational institution of special children in the government sector in any part of AJK because of the lack of interest and poor policies of the Education Department of AJK government.
“The AJK government should devise a broad-based plan to introduce special education for the handicapped persons including hearing impaired, blind and mentally retarded persons to make them useful citizens of the country,” he said.
