As per newspapers reports central examinations will be conducted at class 5 and class 8 in CBSE schools. Those who fail to clear these exams will be detained,

students will be given subsequent opportunities to pass the compartment or improvement papers and will be detained if they fail here too.

Hello,

As the school is affiliated to CBSE it is bound to follow the laws applied in india , therefore they cannot fail your child .

Please write a letter to the principal and inform him about the same , if they refuse to notice then you should contact with the Board office .

Hope this helps.

Regards.

The school is governed by CBSE than the law and notification issued by government of india and central board of secondary education shall apply and your child shall get benifit of shall.

The act in the defination clause specifies the appropriate governemnt that is the central and state government or the board constituted there under .

Also under section 16 of the act any school funded or recognised by the board has to follow it so the school is recognized by CBSE so it has to follow the act.

16. The appropriate Government and the local authorities shall endeavour that all

educational institutions funded or recognised by them provide inclusive education to the

children with disabilities and towards that end shall—

(i) admit them without discrimination and provide education and opportunities

for sports and recreation activities equally with others;

(ii) make building, campus and various facilities accessible;

(iii) provide reasonable accommodation according to the individual’s

requirements;

(iv) provide necessary support individualised or otherwise in environments that

maximise academic and social development consistent with the goal of full inclusion;

(v) ensure that the education to persons who are blind or deaf or both is imparted

in the most appropriate languages and modes and means of communication;

(vi) detect specific learning disabilities in children at the earliest and take suitable

pedagogical and other measures to overcome them;

(vii) monitor participation, progress in terms of attainment levels and completion

of education in respect of every student with disability;

(viii) provide transportation facilities to the children with disabilities and also

the attendant of the children with disabilities having high support needs.

Under section 57 get a certificate under the act for your child so there is no lapses.

Write to principal of school informing same and seek clarification from the board

I'm afraid the RPWD Act will be applicable to territories outside of India.

Being affiliated to CBSE Board, this particular school is bound to follow the guidelines issued by the CBSE Board in regard to the special needs of your child.

At anytime they act arbitrarily and dehors the CBSE guidelines, represent your case before the CBSE, New Delhi.

File a writ before Delhi High Court in India. CBSE is state and cannot play with rights of PWD.

If he is in CBSE school then the said Act will come to his rescue being Indian.

Dear Sir,

Your sons education may be unhindered as the Act was enacted at the instance of following authorities. Please go through the links, which are exhaustive on the subject and try to take shelter under relevant provisions. Wish your son every success in his studies.

Sir the Act RPWD is subject to Right to Education though age under the act is upto 18 years but the no detention policy is effective till class 8th.

Also under the notification by a the central government the scribe is available to a specially Abled child a permission prior at time of filling the forms can be taken.

Also I would suggest you though under the RPWD act the provision is made to provide facility of special care and teaching to the specially abled child in school so write to principal of School seek written clarification raise concern with board. Also there are special good school for children so that they can be taken care specially, but still you want your child to continue in same school you should seek a response and act accordingly.

As per RPWD Act, 2016, Every child with benchmark disability between the age group of 6 and 18 years shall have the right to free education.

The autism affected special children have been covered under the benchmark disability.

Your question that "Can the school fail my son in class 8." has no answer in the said act.

You may clarify about this with the educational authorities governing such issues.

The revised RPWD Act, 2016, which came into effect from April 19 of 2016.Now class 10th and class 12th are Public board exams ,so how does this apply till age 18 if this special needs child fails in the exams to continue education unhindered after class 10 ,especially if the school is not providing necessary and sufficient support by providing special educators or facility of scribe to write the exams

The act provides the following besides other benefits:

The RPWD Act, 2016 provides that “the appropriate Government shall ensure that the PWD enjoy the right to equality, life with dignity, and respect for his or her own integrity equally with others.” The Government is to take steps to utilize the capacity of the PWD by providing appropriate environment. It is also stipulated in the section 3 that no PWD shall be discriminated on the ground of disability, unless it is shown that the impugned act or omission is a proportionate means of achieving a legitimate aim and no person shall be deprived of his personal liberty only on the ground of disability. Living in the community for PWD is to be ensured and steps are to be taken by the Government to ensure reasonable accommodation for them. Special measures are to be taken to ensure women and children with disabilities enjoy rights equally with others.

Persons with benchmark disabilities are defined as those with at least 40% of any of the above disability. PWD having high support needs are those who are certified as such under section 58(2) of the RPWD Act, 2016.

It means:

Person with Disability having High Support Needs: It means a person with benchmark disability certified under clause (a) of sub-section (2) of section 58, who needs high support.
