Schools where students will appear in the ICSE and ISC exams will have an additional round of inspection, during which officials will check seating arrangements, sanitisation system and other Covid-19 protocols, said conveners.
Usually, conveners visit the schools in their respective zones during the exams. This time, there will be a visit before the start of the exams as well, following an instruction from the Council for the Indian School Certificate Examinations, which conducts the ICSE (Class X) and ISC (Class XII) exams.
“The conveners have been asked to do one inspection before the board exams. We will see whether the Covid protocols are being followed. The conveners will inspect the seating arrangements, sanitisation system, availability of sanitisers and other things. The inspection will be done after the schools are ready with the arrangements and before the exams,” said Sanchita Biswas, the principal of St Paul’s Mission School and an ISC convener.
