Chandigarh, March 7
Parents of students of city schools are in a tizzy as many schools are conducting offline examinations even as there has been a spurt in Covid cases.
“Many schools are adamant about holding offline exams. This is unreasonable as there has been a steep rise in Covid positive cases across the city and country on the whole. We are afraid that these schools will become super-spreader hotspots. In order to avoid a citywide lockdown in the near future, the administration must immediately order closure of all schools at once. Even PU is holding its exams online, and the CBSE has postponed the board examinations to May-June, it is high time that schools took a decision to put off offline exams, said Nitin Goyal, President, Chandigarh Parents Association.
