The editorial
Source: The Economic Times · 16 Apr 2021The decision to postpone the Class 12 board examination conducted by the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) and to cancel the Class 10 board examination is the right one, in the given circumstance. It would minimise the disruption for students. Postponing the school-leaving examination — a decision will be taken in June by which time experts expect the current wave to have peaked — will mean that students do not lose out on an academic year. While Class 10 students will have the option of a physical examination if they are not satisfied with the evaluation results. The decision is the best option available given the rise in Covid-19 cases. But it does once again expose the lack of planning by state governments to put in place a system that can address the concerns that have arisen due to the pandemic.
