The Jharkhand Parents Association on Wednesday welcomed the Centre’s decision to cancel the Class 10 and postpone the class 12 board exams in the wake of the growing cases of Covid-19 in the country.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi, at a meeting with Union HRD Minister Ramesh Pokhriyal Nishank and other education department officials, took this decision .
Ajay Rai, the president of JPA, said cancelling the board exams was a smart move given the rise in Covid cases and the risk of infection in students if they visit examination centres.
“Risking the well being and health of students would not have been wise in the current circumstances. We also need to consider the fact that students are already under stress during their board exams, and the additional stress of Covid-19 would have made it even more challenging for them,” said Rai.
