There has been mixed reaction from parents following the decision of the Central Secondary Education Board to cancel the 10th board exam and postpone the 12th board exam. However, not everyone prioritizes health and safety. If students in the 12th grade are considering exam delays well, then 10th grade students are worried about what basis they will pass. When there is no test, what is the basis of the assessment. CBSE has not clarified anything in this regard. Schools are waiting for CBSE instructions on what will be the basis for passing 10th grade students. This time around 21.5 lakh students are enrolled in 10th class and around 14 lakh students are enrolled in 12th standard in the country.
A CBSE official says the workouts will be shared in this direction. At the same time, private school principals say the basis for passing 10th board students can be many. Pre-board examination, internal assessment, practical. Board on how much weight to give. The results can be drawn on its basis.
“I am at a loss to cancel the 10th exam,” says Ritika Sharma, who is studying at 10th St. Thomas School. When you go through it all together, what does study mean? But he was also concerned about Covid. Another private school student says he is worried about how we will clear the 10th exam. Pre-board exam in class 10 is a kind of preparation for board exam but it is not offered by students like board exam. How does CBSE evaluate it? It’s been waiting.
Another student said, ‘Hard-working students and hard-working students are not given the same grades or points. This is wrong. What, then, is the benefit of our hard work? ‘
A student at a government girls’ school in Seemapuri, Kovid said the situation is serious. Nothing more than people’s lives. If postponing the 12th test, it would be fine in a way. Because we have the opportunity for greater preparation.
Jyoti Arora, principal of Mount Abu Public School in Rohini, says the decision to cancel the 10th exam and postpone the 12th is a balanced decision, given the current situation. That is in the best interest of the students. Thanks to the Prime Minister, the Ministry of Education and the CBSE for all who run the school for this decision.
