In light of the certain events regarding corona virus and the rise of cases in the past few months in Kuwait this is a petition to cancel 2021 class 10 and 12 CBSE boards.

• Deeply concerned that students have not been to school the entire year since March 2020 and online school is a new measure taken by schools which is not as efficient and cannot measure up to offline school. 

• Recognizing class 12 students have to apply for further studies, online classes as stated above is not efficient and therefore will be detrimental to the students future.

• Alarmed by the number of cases having peaked to 1.7K per day and expecting to cross 2K on a daily according to Arab times ( https://www.arabtimesonline.com/news/health-situation-not-reassuring-cases-expected-to-hit-2000-daily/ and taking into consideration last year when boards were cancelled when cases were only below 100. It seems unfair to put so many students at risk.

• Taking into account the decline in the mental health of students due to quarantine and/or any loss of loved ones.

• Requests the schools to work towards cancelling cbse boards and instead taking predicated scores ( as they have been given based on past exam performances and overall evaluation of the students) given by respective teachers.

• Aware of occasional unstable internet connections the students have not been able to avail the full potential of online school.
