Due to uncontrollable corona in Gujarat, mass promotion has been given to students of Std. 1 to 9 and Std. While standard 10 and 12 examinations have been postponed. However, the biggest question now is whether the standard 10 and standard 12 exams will be held in the situation where Corona is now reaching home. DivyaBhaskar then had an exclusive conversation with Dinesh Patel, Secretary, Board of Secondary Education. In the conversation, he said that the review meeting will be held on May 15. This meeting will decide on the standard 10 and 12 examinations.
Divyabhaskar: When will the standard 10 and 12 exams be decided?
Dinesh Patel: A review meeting will be held on May 15. The review meeting will be attended by the Education Department, Health Department and the Chief Minister and the situation will be reviewed by all of them. Only then will a decision be made about the exam. No decision on the exam will be taken till May 15.
Divyabhaskar: Will standard 10 and 12 exams be canceled?
Dinesh Patel: There is no consideration about canceling the standard 10 examination at present. The review meeting will be held on May 15. It will decide on the examination keeping in view the situation at that time.
Divyabhaskar: If the exam is not canceled, how will it be taken between the transitions?
Dinesh Patel: If no decision is taken to cancel the exam, guidelines on how to conduct the exam and with how many students will be present will also be released. But till May 15, more than 12 lakh students of Gujarat Board's Std. 10 and more than 4 lakh students of Std. 12 will have to wait for the decision.
The education department and the government are confused about taking the exam
The education department and the state government still seem to be confused about taking the standard 10 and 12 exams. While the CBSE board and other states have given mass promotions in standard 10, no decision has been taken by the board in Gujarat yet. Apart from this, a letter has also been written by the Board of Guardians to the Chief Minister and the Education Department to cancel the examination. But no decision has been taken about the exam yet.
It is difficult to arrange an examination system between unruly corona
More than 10 lakh students are to appear for the standard 10 examination. It seems very difficult to manage at the present stage. Because if the amount of oxygen and medicine is missing, who is responsible for such a large number of students sitting for exams and getting corona infection? Students are also confused about how to get admission in the next year.
The effect of Corona's condition on the students' psyche
The Board of Trustees has given a letter to the Education Minister stating the reasons for canceling the examinations. The corona virus has had a serious effect on the minds of students. They do not understand how to prepare for the exams, as no date has been set. Parents are also worried about the current Corona situation and the way Corona's cases are increasing, so they are not ready to put students to the test.
