A small article (user name/password required) published in Ananda Vikatan this week, afflicted me to a great extent. The blind students who attend their board exams are assisted by a teacher, who writes the answers whatever the student utters. As per the article, the girl (Anusha) feels that the teacher has not done her duty to perfection. Now there is no evidence with her to prove that she is right. So what is the solution for this? I could think of two options that might help us in the future.
First, use some other method to evaluate these kinds of students. Interviewing them is one good option.
Second, record the answers what they say. After the results, if the student is not satisfied with results, they can apply for re-valuation. In this case the audio proof can be used to verify whether what ever they said is reflected in the answer sheet.
I know these things are simply said rather than implemented. But the govt. can have an open discussion on this and come up with a practical solution.
