Challenged CU students demand 5pc quota in govt jobs
Special needs students of Chittagong University (CU) yesterday demanded five percent quota in Bangladesh Civil Service (BCS), judicial services, and other first class public jobs.
Disable Student's Society of Chittagong University (DISSCU) made the call at a news conference at CU Central Students Union (CUCSU) building.
Visually impaired Zahirul Islam, president of DISSCU, also said they face huge difficulties in carrying out studies, as they lack enough reading materials.
DISSCU general secretary Md Belal Uddin read out a written statement and placed a 12-point demand.
The demands include that the government keep orphans out of quotas reserved for the challenged students, provide them free education and necessary study materials, increase amount of stipend, and prepare short syllabus for students unable to speak or intellectually challenged.
