Because visually impaired applicants were not taken into account in their plan, physically challenged candidates have rejected the 2022 National Examination Council ordinary level result.
One of the afflicted applicants, Mubarak Abdulmumeen in a protest letter made accessible to newsmen blamed the low performance of the physically challenged candidates on the insensitivity of the Examination Body to their plights.
He expressed dissatisfaction about the lack of braille machines, one of the instructional tools intended to help visually impaired candidates prepare for and support them during the externally administered exams.
In the interest of justice and fair play, Abdulmumeen, who ascribed the widespread failures in the 2022 NECO O/L examination to the impacted applicants’ inability to use the braille machine, requested a review of their documents.
It is unbelievable that all the people living with a disability, according to portion of the letter. Specifically, the visually handicapped pupils who sat this year’s NECO exam performed appallingly poorly.
“As persons with disabilities, we have written all of our exams using typewriters since the day NECO was founded. However, in 2022, the management made a sudden change to the process without warning.
