Cancel 2021 CBSE Board exams due to COVID-19

The Issue

The situation in India is getting worse day by day!! When there were only a few cases in the country they cancelled the remaining board exams And now when the cases are at a peak they’re planning to open schools!! Some Great planning our government is doing for the future of the country....

 

I urge the education ministry to look into this matter and cancel all examinations to be held this year as students are already under a lot of stress and pressure due to these unfortunate times and above that they’ll have to take the pressure of examinations which could lead them into taking bad decisions if they don’t perform well��
some serious action needs to be taken on this i urge you all to support me !

“I write in support of this petition and for the millions of young Indians who are due to appear for their school, college, university exams. All of these students come in an age group that has not been allowed to be vaccinated by the Union Health Ministry. The exams that are due in a few days will have students and their families, their teachers/ invigilators, the non-teaching staff at high risk considering the virulence of the current pandemic. Many students and teachers are also coming from the micro containment zones as constantly suggested by the Union Health Ministry, which makes logistics difficult. Maharashtra state government has taken a call to postpone both SSC and HSC board exams however CBSE, ICSE, IB, IGCSE have still not taken a call for this and are insisting on offline exams. Hence, it is my humble appeal, as a parent and citizen of India, to the Hon. Minister to consider either cancelling or postponing these exams. His decision would help lakhs of students and parents who are anxious about the safety in the times of pandemic. Let's keep the interest of their health and safety above. Priyanka Chaturvedi Member of Parliament, Rajya Sabha Shiv Sena”

“Dear Students and Fellow Citizens, I wish to express my solidarity with all students and parents who are worried about the health risks associated with appearing for offline exams during the peak of the pandemic. The public health crisis is testing our resolve and resources as a nation. As the vaccination drive continues, we need to do everything in our capacity to curb any event that escalates community-level transmission of the virus. Forcing unvaccinated students to gather in a public place for an examination is certainly not the way forward. As a Member of Parliament, I assure you of my support. I invite you to continue engaging with me via my Twitter page @ManishTewari and remain updated on my work. Thank you, Manish Tewari Member of Parliament, Lok Sabha Indian National Congress”
