The physically challenged children with various types of disabilities need special and adequate social attention and facilities for flourishing their enormous talents by ensuring their education.
The disabled children, their parents and executives of different organisations working with the disabled people put special emphasis for proper implementation of special steps already taken by the government towards that direction.
They suggested for taking more steps to ensure education for turning the physically challenged children into worthy citizens to enable them contributing their maximum to the nation building activities.
Talking to the news agency, leaders of various organisations working with the disabled children also stressed further change in the social mindset to flourishing talents of the children with disabilities to ensure their welfare.
President of Rangdhanu District Protibandhi Adhikar Sangstha of Rangpur Nur Alam said the disabled children had been passing the SSC and HSC examinations brilliantly with adequate GPA points for admission in the universities.
President of Kanthalbari PAS in Kurigram Bimal Chandra Sarker said due to lack of adequate quotas, the brilliant students with disabilities were failing to get admissions in the medical colleges, engineering, agriculture and general universities.
'Many brilliant students with disabilities could become officers, doctors, engineers, agriculturists and university graduates if special admission quotas were provided,' said Azizar Rahman, president of Progati PAS in Lalmonirhat.
Physically challenged students Rafiul Islam, Ibrahim Khalil and Rezaul Karim said they got GPA points in their SSC and HSC examinations in 2008 and 2010 for admissions in the public, medical, engineering and agriculture universities.
'Struggling with all-out adverse situations, only a negligible number of the physically challenged children are becoming able to pass the SSC and HSC examinations with adequate GPA points and failing to get admission in the universities ultimately.'
'We, the physically challenged children, are becoming bound to compete in the admission tests for higher education with thousands of the normal brilliant students coming out of the country's best and reputed schools and colleges', they said.
They urged the authorities concerned for taking steps to fulfil their hopes by arranging special admissions quotas for their higher education at the earliest to enabling them in taking part in building a digital Bangladesh.
