When will states give their confirmation on CBSE Class 12 Boards Examination?

 

The Union Government of the nation is waiting for the states to confirm their stand on 

While the Union government is waiting for feedback from states on whether to hold the Class 12 board examination this year, Education Minister Ramesh Pokhriyal is learned to have underlined the importance of the school-leaving examination at the national consultation held on Sunday, which was echoed by senior officers of the ministry.

Pokhriyal, in his address, said the outcome of the examination impacts every student’s life and decides their future in academics.

While the minister insisted that students’ safety was the government’s top priority, he also emphasized the pitfalls of promoting students without “reliable assessment”. The latter, he added risks affecting students’ career and their prospects in the job market. Pokhriyal, in his concluding remarks, is learned to have also told states that in recent consultations with schools, the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) had got the stakeholders’ “approval” to conduct the Class 12 examination. The National Council of CBSE Schools, too, is in favor of holding the examination, Pohkriyal said. School Education Secretary Anita Karwal described the Class 12 exam as “cutting-edge”. She is said to have told states that the Union government was keen on going ahead with the exam and leaning towards holding it in a truncated format.

In the shorter version, as reported by The Sunday Express, students will appear for examinations in 19 major subjects, at their own schools. The aim behind self-centers, Karwal is learned to have said, is to avoid crowds and limit the movement of students and teachers.
