As it readies to conduct nationwide exams
for classes 10 and 12 in three weeks, the Central Board of Secondary Education
(CBSE) is faced with a dilemma: What to do if candidates in containment areas
who cannot appear in the test.
The human resource development ministry
has declared that the crucial exams will be held in July in 13,000 schools.
“There can be options like treating these
students at par with those in CBSE schools abroad for whom there are no exams.
However, these are not simple issues and have to be thoroughly deliberated,”
said an official who wished not to be identified.
In case the CBSE decides to call students
from containment zones to test centres, it may also require permission from the
Union home ministry.
Some officers also point out that a large
number of schools in areas like Delhi and many schools like the Kendriya
Vidyalayas and Jawahar Navodaya Vidyalayas are being used as quarantine
centres. For exams to be conducted, these institutions would need to be handed
back to the organisations managing them. “The board and the ministry are aware
of these matters. However, decisions on such aspects cannot be taken in a
hurry. All aspects are being considered,” said the official cited above.
