Shifting its
view point, CBSE is now mulling whether to conduct the pending board exam in
foreign countries and is discussing the same with the ambassadors or foreign
education ministers to reach a solution.
The ministry
is also working on modalities of assessment in places where situation does not
allow to conduct the board exams. In a notification released on April 1,
several measures regarding pending board exams were announced which included
cancelling pending exams of class 12 students and conducting only important
exams for class 12.
"Considering
the different situation at different places, having a common solution is not
practically feasible. However, if the situation has improved in some countries,
it would be better to conduct exams at least there. For example, we have a
school in Japan, if the situation is better in that particular area, the exam
can be conducted," a senior HRD Ministry official told PTI.
The official
also said that board is preparing for both possibilities.
"That
if exams can be conducted in some places, how will they be conducted and if not
what will be the assessment pattern. We will soon have a final decision on all
these aspects," the official added.
The same information
was also shared by the HRD Minister in online interaction with the students.
"We are
discussing with CBSE and trying to come up with a solution. We will also speak
to Indian ambassadors in different countries and foreign education ministers.
It is a difficult situation as the lockdown restrictions as well as COVID-19
situation is different in different countries and all of that needs to be given
a thought. We will come up with a solution in best interest of students,"
Mr. Nishank had said.
