A DISTANT MEMORY, Class X CBSE board examinees
BHUBANESWAR: Students, parents and teachers welcomed the Centre’s decision to postpone the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) Class XII board exams due to rising Covid-19 cases across the country. They said the move had come as a big relief.
However, they also criticised the government’s decision to cancel the Class X board exams, and said it would harm the children’s academic career. The board will review its decision on June 1.
“It seems that the decision to postpone and not cancel the Class XII exam is correct as far as the academic prospects of students are concerned. If we go by the alarming Covid-19 situation, cancellation of Class X exam is also in favour of students,” said Puspita Brahma, a Class XII student of Kendriya Vidyalaya-1.
