Though the school education department has said that the exams will take place for sure, the time table is yet to be decided.
Government school teachers feel that the absence of a school environment for studying is detrimental for their students. “We are definitely worried about this year’s results. The government school students, many of whom come from financially poor families, are finding it difficult to focus on the preparations amid the lockdown. Students easily lose touch even if we push them to study at home. They put in their best efforts when they are in school,” said a government high school head master. Many teachers feel that 10-20 days of special classes is necessary for providing last-minute training to the students before exams commence.
Teachers are also worried that Class X students will be writing their board exams based on a new syllabus and without a blueprint. “It is always tough for the batch which writes exams under the new syllabus. With no blue print as well, we were already looking at a difficult time this year. Now, with no means to give proper revision amid lockdown, we can only pray to God for good results,” said a Class X science teacher at a government high school.
However, the schools and teachers are still trying their best to be in touch with their students over phone and help them study from their homes using online resources.
“We try to be in touch with our students for clearing any doubts and are constantly encouraging them to study from home. We are also confident in the training we have imparted to our students prior to the lockdown.
