The TBSE chief earlier this January asked all the examination centre in-charges to allow only Bengali script for writing Kokborok papers for the Class 12 and 10 board examinations scheduled to begin from March 1 and 2 due to insufficiently qualified evaluators to check answer copies written in Roman script | Latest News India
The Tipra Indigenous Students Federation (TISF) plans to indefinitely block National Highway-8 and rail routes to protest the Tripura Board of Secondary Education s decision to not allow tribal students to write answers in the Roman script for the Kokborak language in the upcoming exams.
