Cascading effect on admissions
The Hindu
Delay in admissions and commencement of classes have sent the schedules haywire
In March 2020, the first wave of COVID-19 pandemic hit the country and the State forcing a nation-wide lockdown till May, and since then the academic schedules of both schools and colleges have gone for a toss, and the managements of educational institutions are still grappling with the situation.
On the one hand they have the issues of admission and on the other they are facing problems over completing the syllabus and holding examinations.
With the clock ticking down to the Lok Sabha election counting day on Tuesday, opposing fronts are perceptibly edgy and poised to continue the rancorous skirmishing that marked the campaign season in Kerala. The United Democratic Front, led by the Congress, is seemingly basking in the “interim victory” granted by various exit polls. The UDF discerns that its poll strategy of turning the polls foremostly into a damning referendum on the Left Democratic Front government’s perceived failures rather than BJP’s “divisive politics” at the national level stood a fighting chance of paying off.
