MIRPUR (Kashmir English): A hearing and speech impaired special student from AJK’s Kashmir Institute of Special Education (KISE), Ms. Tayyaba Majeed secured distinction as she successfully completed her Bachelor of Arts degree program in Grade A from the University of Faisalabad bringing glory to Azad Jammu Kashmir.
According to details, Tayyaba Majeed is a student of Kashmir Institute of Special Education, a free education institution for deaf students in Mirpur, AJK functioning under the auspices of Ansari Welfare Trust.
The special child passed the annual BA examination from Government University College Faisalabad with distinction, KISE Director Dr. Amjad Ansari said.
According to KISE Director, Tayyaba Majeed, a resident of Nakiyal district, has passed her previous exams in Grade A Plus.
“The distinguished special student has given the message that if special people get proper guidance, they can succeed in every exam of life,” Dr. Amjad Ansari said.
He said that due to the lack of graduation facilities for deaf and hard of hearing students at Azad Kashmir University, they have to send these special students to Punjab and in other provinces for the higher studies.
He further said that before this, four students of KISE completed their BA education from Federal Urdu University and the biggest problem in Azad Jammi Kashmir stands in providing employment to special students after completion of their professional studies.
Employment opportunities for special students
Dr. Ansari suggested Azad Kashmir government that special students be provided with employment besides higher studies in various professional disciplines in the public sector universities located in AJK.
Ansari Welfare Trust Chairman Dr. Muhammad Yasin, Trust President Mirza Wajahat Baig, other executive members of the trust and social leaders and members of civil society have, meanwhile. congratulated Tayyaba Majeed, her teachers and parents. KISE, it may be added, was established in 2001, where free education is being provided to hundreds of hearing and speech impaired students through communication in sign language.
