Based on RA 7277, whether private or public, which of the following describes what schools may not do to PWDs?

• A. Accept PWDs
• B. Deny PWDs
• C. Not reject PWDs
• D. Exclude PWDs

Answer: (C)

Under RA 7277, schools—both private and public—must not discriminate against persons with disabilities. The law requires equal access to education, including admission, instruction, and services, with reasonable accommodations to support learning. Saying that schools may not reject PWDs captures this nondiscrimination imperative in the most direct way: institutions are obliged to consider and admit students with disabilities rather than turn them away. The other ideas describe actions that would be discriminatory (denying or excluding) or refer to an outcome that is already part of the expected standard (accepting PWDs). The essential point is that rejection of a PWD is not allowed.
