Maharashtra students requested to cancel HSC exams
Few Days before Government of Maharashtra Cancelled SSC Board (10th Std) Examination. Govenment is working on drafting an alternative assessment pattern for 10th Std examination.
Meanwhile there is growing demand from the parents and students of HSC Board (Class XII) for similar relief.
Over the past few days, several students have taken to social media requesting that HSC exams be cancelled in view of the surge in Covid-19 infections and the resultant lockdown in the state.
On Sunday, the Maharashtra Students Welfare Association, a statewide body of students, wrote to state education minister Varsha Gaikwad to consider alternate methods of assessment and cancel offline exams. “HSC exams have already been postponed several times. If the situation worsens, in the coming days, postponement or conduct of offline exams will not be a good option,” states the letter.
