"Henan blind self-taught exam first person" registered for the college entrance examination but refused to give up.
Recently, Li Jinsheng, the "first person who taught himself for the blind" in Henan Province, had new troubles. His registration for the general college entrance examination was rejected, and many negotiations with the provinces, cities and counties were fruitless. On December 14th, Li Jinsheng said in an interview: "I will not give up taking the college entrance examination, even if I fail in the end, I will defend my legal right and that of other blind people to take the college entrance examination."
Blind people talk to the provinces, cities and counties, and the college entrance examination registration is rejected.
Li Jinsheng, who has a high school education, is a blind man in Queshan County, Zhumadian City, Henan Province. In order to successfully sign up for the college entrance examination in Henan Province before the deadline of December 18, he has recently negotiated with the provincial, city and county recruitment offices many times. Although the statements are different, the result is the same-no registration.
The latest attempt to register was on December 11th. Li Jinsheng negotiated with the staff in Queshan Education Bureau for more than an hour, but he still failed.
"Article 5 of the Notice on Doing a Good Job in Early Enrollment of Vocational Education Teachers, Blind, Deaf and Disabled Students and Higher Vocational Colleges in Ordinary Colleges and Universities in 2014 says that blind people can sign up for the ordinary college entrance examination, but the staff just won’t let them report." For these answers, Li Jinsheng found it hard to accept: "Am I embarrassing them or are they embarrassing me?"
Li Jinsheng, who was distressed, then consulted Zhumadian City and Henan Province. A related person in charge of the Municipal Admissions Office said: "This is the first case in China (blind people register for the general college entrance examination), and the test paper is not easy to get. It is responsible for you not to apply." Another staff member said that the staff of the Henan Provincial Admissions Office said: "We have never encountered this situation and have reported it to the leaders. You wait."
Even the staff of Queshan County Education Bureau expressed the hope that Li Jinsheng would give up taking the general college entrance examination and enroll in a separate examination for the disabled. Li Jinsheng immediately refused: "The professional restrictions of individual enrollment are very strict, only massage and music. I want to study law. Besides, there is no law that blind people cannot take the general college entrance examination, and the law also stipulates that we have the right to take the college entrance examination in Braille. "
Li Jinsheng once won the right to self-study for the blind, saying that he would not give up the college entrance examination.
Speaking of Li Jinsheng, he is also a celebrity in the circle of the blind, because he won the right to take the self-study exam for the blind 10 years ago.
"At that time, the self-study exam did not allow the blind to take the exam, which was similar to the situation of the college entrance examination today. I took instant noodles and mineral water, lived in the street next to the recruitment office for several days, and talked to them every day. Finally, they agreed to sign me up, and someone specially helped me read and write during the exam. " Speaking of the experience at that time, Li Jinsheng felt deeply. To this end, he was also received and commended by Deng Pufang, then chairman of the China Disabled Persons’ Federation.
Speaking of the reason why he wanted to take the college entrance examination, Li Jinsheng was interested again: "Although my income from massage is not bad now, I always feel that I am no different from others. I can do many things that they can do. Now that the technology is so developed, I can read books on the Internet with the computer, and I can travel far away with mobile navigation. It is entirely possible for me to change my career. I am very interested in law and hope to learn this aspect. "
Then, Li Jinsheng changed the subject: "I thought that compared with 10 years ago, the law has been much more perfect, and the obstacles for blind people to take exams have long been eliminated in the law. Who would have thought that these laws were so difficult to implement, and my registration was inexplicably rejected, and there was not even a convincing reason for me. However, I am a very stubborn person, and I will stick to what I have chosen. I will never give up taking the college entrance examination this time. Even if you can’t pass the exam in the end, you must defend your legal rights and those of other blind people to take the college entrance examination. "
The exclusion of the blind from the general college entrance examination has a long history, and the call for reform is growing.
Is what happened to Li Jinsheng a case or a common phenomenon? After internet search, I found dozens of news reports about blind people unable to take the general college entrance examination in the past year. On December 3, CCTV News Channel once broadcast a piece of news. Wang Rui, a public welfare person for the blind, put up a sign in front of the Ministry of Education, calling on the education department to provide braille or electronic examination papers for the blind in the general college entrance examination according to law.
After learning that Li Jinsheng’s registration was rejected, Wang Rui said with disappointment: "Last weekend, the Ministry of Education just disclosed the information of the reform plan of the college entrance examination, which should promote education equity, but now such a thing has happened, which is unacceptable. The college entrance examination can produce minority scripts, and the civil service examination can be given to the blind by computer with voice. Why can’t the ordinary college entrance examination work? Now even the qualifications for registration are gone. "
Teng Weimin, vice chairman of the Blind Association of the China Disabled Persons’ Federation, who is also blind, said in an interview with the media: "We have reflected this problem through the National People’s Congress and the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference. Can you give us a test paper in Braille? The reply of the Education Commission is:’ First, we can’t guarantee the confidentiality of the general test paper; Secondly, we can’t find anyone to judge this paper. " I can judge the test paper. It turns out that I judged many papers answered in the self-study exam for the blind in Beijing. "
Disabled people’s right to education is protected by law, and there are precedents for providing Braille and electronic examination papers in the unified examination.
Regarding the rejection of the college entrance examination in Li Jinsheng, Rui Huang, a lawyer of Henan Boyang Law Firm who has long been concerned about the rights and interests of the disabled, said that China’s Education Law, the Law on the Protection of the Disabled and other laws have expressed the equal right of the disabled to receive education.
"Taking the college entrance examination is the prerequisite for disabled people to receive higher education, and the education department should provide help and convenience for disabled candidates in the process of registration and implementation of the examination. In addition, this year, the Henan Provincial Admissions Office issued the Notice on Doing a Good Job in Recruiting Vocational Education Teachers, Blind, Deaf and Disabled Students and Higher Vocational Colleges in advance in 2014, which includes the following contents: Blind and Deaf Candidates’ If they want to take the unified national entrance examination for colleges and universities in 2014, they must also enroll in colleges and universities in our province at that time.’ This further clarifies the right of the blind to take the general college entrance examination from the policy. Lawyer Huang said: "Article 54 of China’s Law on the Protection of Disabled Persons stipulates that blind people should be provided with braille papers and electronic papers or assisted by specialized staff in all kinds of entrance examinations, vocational qualification examinations and post examinations held by the state. The general college entrance examination belongs to the entrance examination held by the state, and this law is applicable. In addition, from the practical value of legislation, if the blind are not qualified to take these exams at all, there is no need for such a clause in the law. "
Wang Rui said: "In October this year, the national civil service recruitment examination provided electronic examination papers for blind people who signed up. This scheme has been tested by practice and proved to be feasible. At present, in some blind schools in China, the usual final exams are conducted by computers, and electronic examination papers are more in line with the actual needs of the blind. Of course, Braille test paper is also a good choice. For example, the unified education examination in Hong Kong has been providing braille examination papers for the blind in need for many years, and accumulated rich experience in practical operation, forming a relatively complete system. I hope that the education department can make improvements in this regard as soon as possible, and don’t let blind people like Li Jinsheng hit the wall again. " (Reporter Men Jiedan)
