MIRPUR (AJK), Sept 28: Four students with hearing and speech disabilities from the Kashmir Institute of Special Education (KISE), Mirpur, have passed the Intermediate (FA) examination conducted by the Punjab Board of Technical Education, Lahore, with distinction, earning appreciation from their parents and teachers.
KISE Director Dr Amjad Ansari, told this Correspondent here on Monday that Momina Asif secured the top position by obtaining 895 marks out of 1,150, followed by Sarah Ilyas with 885 marks, Abdul Aziz Khan with 878 marks and Hafsa Mujahid with 870 marks.
The students, who communicate primarily through sign language, achieved a 100 percent pass rate, continuing KISE’s tradition of strong academic performance.
Dr Ansari said the students had also performed exceptionally well in their matriculation examinations. He said that due to the absence of facilities for FA examinations for students with hearing disabilities under the Azad Jammu and Kashmir educational board, they had appeared in the examination through the Punjab Board of Technical Education.
He said the students were taught the complete syllabus through sign language, which required specialized teaching methods and dedicated efforts by the KISE faculty. The teachers, he added, work diligently to strengthen the students’ confidence and enable them to demonstrate their abilities in academic examinations.
Dr Ansari said the results reflected the students’ hard work and determination as well as the commitment of their teachers to providing inclusive and quality education.Chairman Ansari Welfare Trust Dr Muhammad Yasin, Basharat Shaheen, President Mirza Wajahat Baig, KISE Director Dr Amjad Ansari, Principal Muneeza Abrar, NGOs representatives Dr Tahir Mahmood, Muhammad Shakeel Chaudhry and Agha Shabbir Hussain, besides other members of civil society, congratulated the successful students, their parents and teachers on the achievement.
