DURING my BA examinations at the Lawrence Road centre, near the Board of Intermediate and Secondary Education, Lahore, in April, I saw several handicapped students facing difficulties in reaching the fifth floor to take their exams. The same thing happened when they wanted to go downstairs after the examinations. The centre is also used for holding high school and intermediate examinations and NTS tests.

The authorities concerned should make sure that all such students be allowed to take their examinations on the ground floor.
