TWO senior citizens, one of them an octogenarian, and a visually impaired person took part in the just concluded 2023 Bar examinations.
According to Associate Justice Ramon Paul Hernando, 2023 Bar Examinations Chairman, the oldest Bar examinee this year was an 86-year-old applicant who took the tests in San Beda College – Alabang in Muntinlupa City. The youngest was a 23-year-old who took the test at the University of the Philippines-Bonifacio Global City in Taguig City, one of the 14 local testing centers nationwide.The two senior citizens took the examinations handwritten, Associate Justice Hernando said.
NVDA is a screen reader that 'reads aloud' scanned text of his books and testing booklets, enabling the examinee to study his books and take his exams through ear reading.Hernando said while it was not the first time that an individual with visual impairment was allowed to take the Bar exams, it was the first time that the Court permitted the use of an NVDA application.
