The
Mizoram Board of School Education (MBSE) has decided to resume the
class 12th board exams from April 22. However, the board
is facing opposition from the students as according to the Center’s
guideline all educational institutes are to remain close until May 3.
For
the remaining subjects, the High School Leaving Certificate (HSSLC)
exams will be held from April 22 to April 24 said the official
notification issued by the MBSE said on Friday.
The
remaining exams will be conducted across all examination centers, the
notice said further. The board has asked the students to appear for
the exam in the nearest center or at the center of their choice.
State
education minister Lalchhandama Ralte announced the commencement of
the exams and said that the schedule was disturbed because of the
nation-wide lockdown due to the coronavirus. He also said that in a
meeting on Monday all political parties, NGOs, churches and student
bodies suggested that exams should be commenced again.
To
protest against the exam, students have launched a no-exam campaign
on Instagram and other social media accounts as well. Students
complained that students who are staying outside the state and are in
the villages will face great inconvenience due to the restriction of
the movement.
Siaha
district DCP, Bhupesh Chaudhary write a letter to the controller of
examination of the MBSE and said that this is the clear violation of
the MHA guidelines.
"The
notification for re-commencement of HSSLC (Arts, Science and
Commerce) examination from April 22 in Siaha is a clear violation of
the MHA order and therefore, no exemption can be accorded to the
conduction of the class-12 board examinations," Mr. Chaudhary
said in the letter.
