“Many parents are not aware that we are here to help such students. Before introducing the zero reject policy we only had 1,486 special needs students who registered for the 2019 school sessions. He said public universities also have a special quota for special needs students and would accommodate them.

He said the assessment on Year 1 students will be carried out in a more objective way through better teaching environment.
