NSUI Demands Cancellation Of Classs 10 & 12 CBSE Exams, Manish Sisodia Urges The Same

“Apart from all this, the government is planning to use 242 School’s auditorium to set an additional 80,000 beds for Covid-19,” the NSUI claimed.

Mumbai| National Students’ Union of India (NSUI), the Congress Party’s youth wing, has demanded the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) not to conduct the persisting exams of class 10 and 12 students.

Neeraj Kundan, the National President of NSUI said, “The HRD should instead focus to build up the confidence of the parents and students to bring the children to resume teaching activities whenever possible in future rather than being stuck with the remaining exams.”

NSUI, in a statement, expressed that conducting the board examinations particularly for the 12 class students was marked at a high stake but in such a situation now, conducting the examinations will be a mere onerous task.

Proving reasons for the demand, the Congress youth wing said the increase in the number of cases of people getting Covid positive standing up to 44,468 as on 18 June 2020 which is likely to rise by 5.5 lakh by 31st July 2020 is one of the reasons why the lives of students should not be put under risk.

“Also due to contamination of zones if any school comes under such zone it would be very difficult for everyone and also 251 Government school buildings are used as dry ration distribution centers,” it further said.

“Apart from all this, the government is planning to use 242 School’s auditorium to set an additional 80,000 beds for Covid-19,” the NSUI claimed.

Stressing that conducting exams in such times will be onerous for the students as well as their lives, NSUI said, “CBSE shouldn’t come up to any termination of conducting the persisting exams in July as if would be very onerous for the students as well as their lives. So we demand not to conduct examinations until the situation comes back to hold and truly understand the gravity of such circumstances.”

The Deputy CM of Delhi Manish Sisodia voiced the same concern in his letter to HRD Minister Ramesh Pokhriyal, stating that subjecting students to take the exam in such an uncertain and anxiety-prone situation would not be fair to them.
