Social Security Minister @DrBaljitAAP ji, you had promised that examination fees for government examinations for disabled persons would be waived. So keeping your promise fee for PS TET exam should be waived.
Lack of teachers in #Punjab for Children with Special needs (CWSN)
The Right of Children to free and compulsory Education Act (RTE) mandates that there should be at least one special education teacher for every 10 students with disabilities enrolled (at primary level from class 1 to 5) and for classes 6 to 8, there should be at least one teacher for 15 students with disabilities. However, state data reveals that a total of 44,604 children with disabilities enrolled in government schools, there are only 279 special educators.
I had a word with the Berozgaar Vishesh Sikhya Adhyaapak Union President Harrish Dutt who says the situation is worse in the border district "where each special educator is handling over 300 students."
The affidavit filed by Punjab Govt in SC reveals there are 3911 vacant posts & two year time was taken to fulfill the posts. However, no progress has been made till today says Harrish Dutt.
