All the 14 girls of the Government School for the Visually Impaired Girls at Puthur in Tiruchi have passed the SSLC examinations this year.
The principal, G. Subramaniam, said the school had been producing 100% pass results for eight years. “The drop in numbers is because parents of visually impaired children have begun enrolling them in regular schools, though they might not receive the care they deserve,” he added.
R. Nandini, who scored 442 marks and emerged as school topper, aspires to become an IAS officer.
