She cannot see the exam paper, so a fellow student read it aloud — and Moumi still scored a perfect GPA-5
In Sylhet, Bangladesh, Tahmina Akter Moumi sat her Higher Secondary Certificate exams — the school-leaving tests that decide university places — with a scribe beside her: Pallab Roy, a younger student who read each paper aloud and wrote down her answers, because Moumi is visually impaired. When the results came, in a year when nearly half the candidates under the Sylhet Education Board failed, Moumi had earned GPA-5, the highest grade possible. She studies at Sylhet Government Madan Mohan College and lives at the Green Disabled Foundation in Sylhet, an organisation that supports visually impaired people. Her result was earned the slow way: listening, remembering, and answering — perfectly.
