Boards exam to be taken online or should be postponed says Priyanka Gandhi
Congress General Secretary Priyanka Gandhi Vadra on Friday raised her voice in support of the students who want their CBSE board exam to be conducted in online mode or to be postponed. Priyanka Gandhi said that "Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) can't force the student to sit for an exam when the Covid-19 situation across the country is bad".
She tweeted that, "It is downright impossible for boards like CBSE to force students to sit for exams under prevailing circumstances. Boards exam should either be cancelled, rescheduled, or arranged in a manner that doesn't require the physical presence of children at crowded exam centres". She further added that this pressure can affect the mental health of students. After Ms. Gandhi's tweet, many students came in support of her and voiced their solidarity with the students.
Meanwhile CBSE has addressed the concern of the students and said that the exams will be conducted with utmost safety and precautionary measures will be followed strictly. No statements have been issued yet regarding the postponement of the CBSE Board exam 2021.
