Even with just one ring of the alarm, the student was eliminated from “disturb other students” and removed from the room. The young man also had to sign an elimination form and was forced to leave the testing site.
INEP could face a compensation request

He emphasizes that the analysis of a possible action must take into account all the particularities of the case, including the justification for the elimination and the possible request for a special room, as well as the medical reports that based the requests made by the student.
