Gujarat schools want general stream exam cancelled
Representative ImageAHMEDABAD: The Federation of Self-Financed Schools, Gujarat, has urged the state government to cancel the board exams for Class XII (general stream) and evaluate students based on internal exams and assignments.
In a representation to Gujarat chief minister Vijay Rupani, the federation said that given the prevailing Covid-19 crisis, the government should consider cancelling the Class XII Gujarat Secondary and Higher Secondary Education Board (GSHSEB) exams.
“The annual mark sheets should be prepared on the basis of unit tests, assignments, and the evaluation conducted during the year. If a student’s performance is unsatisfactory, he or she should be failed,” said a member of the federation.
An estimated 4.50 lakh students are expected to take Class XII general stream examinations this year. The board exams for Class XII science students should be conducted once the Covid-19 crisis is under control, according to the federation.
