New Delhi: Central Board of Secondary Education, CBSE Class 12 Board Examination 2021 are likely to be cancelled. As per reports, the Ministry of Education is reviewing the present situation and is considering the cancellation of the board examinations.
CBSE is expected to review and announce its decision within the next two weeks. A senior ministry official said, “Given the current situation, there is possibility of scrapping the exams altogether. CBSE will review the situation and probably would have to work out an alternative assessment scheme for the Class12 students”
“The pandemic situation at present is at least four times worse than last year and schools are likely to stay closed for the rest of the session. Although a final decision is to be taken after a review in June, in the current scenario it is unlikely that exams are going to be conducted anytime soon,” said a senior CBSE official.
However, opinion is divided whether Class XII Boards should be cancelled altogether. Ashok Pandey, director, Ahlcon Group of Schools, New Delhi, believes that if the situation continues to be grim, there will be no other alternative but to cancel the exams.
He said the trauma that children are experiencing should not be added to by dithering about the board exams. “It is obvious now that exams cannot take place in June and to wait wishfully for a later date conducive for examination is entirely untenable.”
