Visually Impaired Students Report University Placement Issues; Ministry Responds

Visually impaired students who achieved passing grades in the 12th-grade national exams have reported difficulties accessing their university placements. Students stated that despite meeting the required score, the online system prevents them from viewing their assignments, leaving them confused about their enrollment status. In response, State Minister of Education Prof. Kindeya Gebrehiwot clarified that such issues might arise if students did not correctly identify their visual impairment status during registration. He urged affected students to submit their complaints individually through the official online grievance portal rather than visiting the ministry in person. The ministry emphasized that all complaints submitted via the provided link within the five-day window will be addressed.
